How much money are you willing to spend to accomplish this?
yes, i feel so too, it is quite heavy frame, but this is custom made frame that fits nicely, as i mention before, i like how it feels to ride this steel frame.
i still don't know how much money to spend, not a lot i guess.
but, assuming both upgrade would cost me the same, which one is better. lighter wheelset or lighter frame?
