Cannodale H300 upgade question

[George Karabots]

Hey guys,

I have a Hybrid Cannondale for the past 4 years now and I want to upgrade
it. I basically have not change much since I bought it, so if you can have a look at http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/00/cusa/model-
0hr3.html you will see all the components I have on it.

So my question to you is whether I can add:
1) a handlebar like this: http://www.excelsports.com/new.asp?page=8&description=Century+Aero+Bar&ve-
ndorCode=PROFILE&major=1&minor=15
2) a brake/shifter like this: http://www.excelsports.com/new.asp?page=8&description=105+STI+Levers&-
vendorCode=SHIM&major=1&minor=20 I know my Rear Cogs is only 8-Speed.

So what do you guys think? Will this upgrade work? Do I need more to upgrade? You think I need the
whole 105 kit? Or Am I better off buying a new bike ))

thanks for reading and replaying

George

George,
Please use TinyURL to convert your URLs. We can then see what you are talking about.
It's easy, just go to:
http://tinyurl.com/
and follow the directions.
I think you are going to need a 9 speed cassette and chain as well, from what I can guess, without being able to click to the URLS you refer to.
