I'm a new roadie, been riding only since last summer. After a brief winter hiatus I'm back on my bike about 3-4 hours per week. Longest rides I do are 35-40 miles , in which I average anywhere from 16-18 mph.
Anyway my question as the thread title states is which is the cheapest/best upgrade I can purchase to improve my bike's performance? Since I was on a very very limited budget I only spent about $500 bucks on my new road bike. Did I mention I was on a very limted budget?
I ended up with a motobecane record. The specs are as follows in the link below.

I recently upgraded to spd-sl clipless pedals. So what do you guys think? It seems like the Kenda Kontender tires may need to go. They just feel a little too fat when I ride and if so, which wheelset should I buy? Again I don't have much of a budget. Thanks in advance.
*edit - it seems like they changed the specs on the bike, when I purchased mine they came with Kenda Kontender tires
