I finally got around to taking a good photo of my bike. I figured i’d post it up here anyway. I’m going to change the Crankset, Saddle and, if I have enough money, the Wheelset. Frame:

Although I wish I didn’t buy them. They’ll be replaced with something better in a short while.
I reckon I’ll just get a 0 degree stem because I’m not keen on the rise, either way. one way and it looks bad, the other and it probably won’t be much good for my back.
Rised stem on a lo pro with bull horns is stupid.
Either ditch the horns and go risers,
Get drops Or change the stem.
Other than that you must be stoked to be on a real bike.
Flats for down hills and flat sections , horns for up hills or gaining speed. So I’d say it varies depending on where I want to ride to but I’d say overall the flats get the most use.
Yeh, dun good Isaac. Just ride it and replace things as they break: you get your monies worth of what you have already bought, plus it gives you more time to research/consider what upgrade to make.
