Is the frame a good one, right size, top notch material etc. The frame is the MOST important part
of the bike, so it has to be right. Other parts can be cheap & upgraded as they wear out, not so
the frame.
If your frame is OK, the usual first upgrade is a good set of wheels, but having moved from downtube
to Ergos some years ago, I've just upgraded my winter hack (last autumn) to ergos as well, you can't
beat 'em IMO. (I don't like all those Shimano cables out front, yuk, but they are meant to be
functionally v. good, you pays yer money......etc).
