Why do you need to upgrade first? 14 speed is still good enough for most people,even though it is
old technology. If you need a greater range of gears, you'll need a new back hub/wheel, and new
chain/rear cogs/rear gear shifters. If you want to make the bike lighter, just look through the
catalogues and see what you can afford, but just be aware that there are some real good new bikes
available now for what I'd call bargain prices, - upgrading an old bike may be more expensive than
buying a new one, or a newer secondhand one. Alan.--
