Sounds like you got the right bike for you. I changed grips on my bike and I did pedals, seat, post and I bought some stronger disc brake pads that will grip more and a new oil slick colored chain that I will put on once the weather gets a little warmer. I just keep messing around with my bike adding odds and ends to it just for fun. Weather's been really up and down in PS lately. Today it's in the mid 30's and actually snowing on and off with high winds. Hope the weather breaks soon.
I’d like to get a different color chain for what reason I do not know
but not sure what matches the one I have. It’s a kmc z7
