Road bike question here:
I have a Ribble winter/audax frame with carbon fork. It is built up with Tiagra HT2 cranks, 9 speed tiagra mech, sora front mech and 8 speed cassette, Sora STI’s, carbon post and Fizik saddle, Some bars??, Shimano hubs on Alex rims.
It is fine – no issues what so ever with it apart from that i would like new shifters that had both controls on the lever blade rather than a button. Also lighter wheels would be nice as would lighter bars as these are just some that i had in the shed.
So the question is – do i upgrade the parts highlighted in bold or chop in and spend the money and the extra that i would need to spend upgrading on a (new to me) second hand bike that had the desired parts already?
What could i get for £450-500 second hand that was 9 or 10 speed?
