My wife has a Verve 3 that I have resisted the urge to modify beyond saddle and a pink kitty bell to match my daughter's bike. Future changes will be limited to pedals, tires, and SKS Blumel fenders. I have considered upgrading the group but it works great for her so I'll leave good enough alone. It's better that way for all parties involved.
I have since made some upgrades... because I can!
- Swapped the original saddle for a Selle Anatomic R2 I picked up on sale. (Impression is still forming)
- RaceFace Ride pedals replaced the Trek platforms
- I installed Shimano Alivio brakes in place of the Tektro assemblies that came on it. I'll use the Tektro assemblies on another project bike that needs brakes. For $30, I think it was a wise and worthy upgrade.
