That may be a fun/scary project to undertake. I spent a good portion of the lockdown on my phone buying new/upgraded parts. If there was any component, from bearings on up, that could be lighter or higher performing, I bought it. Sometimes multiple times. I’ve got way more money in my bike than I could ever get out of it.
$100 on Cinelli-branded Bianchi Dino toe straps? Check. $100 for a titanium rear axle? Check. $300 for Dura Ace 25th Anniversary brakes and rear derailleur? Check and check.
