Thanks again. For now, I really don't have enough bikes for a collection or anything, so the ones I do have need to work well. I went with simple cheap upgrades that are worthy of seeing daily use. I haven't yet gotten to the point where I want to upgrade the Trek - it works as well as I'd ever need it to work - but that time may come where parts will be passed down from Trek to Peugeot.
