Montague Paratrooper Upgrade
Some advice please....
I am considering purchasing a Montague Paratrooper in the coming months and having read many posts on this forum I have heard that it is worth upgrading some of the components as they are a bit basic.I know people will say I can get a much better non-folding bike for the money, buy it is the folding element that will be most useful as I plan to use it for vacations, commuting, etc so it meets my main requirement.
So with this in mind what would people recommend upgrading? I will mainly use the bike for light trail use and roads. I will probably change the tyres for some hydrids such as Schwalbe Marathon and upgrade the pedals to folding MKS FD-7 but beyond this I'm not sure. My budget won't be big and I really just want to bring the bike up to something like a £600 ($930) spec Giant which I have owned previously. Thanks Steven
