if i had to do it over again, i would have spent the extra money on a better uni. i broke the frame. (replaced it with a bedford) and also broke the stiffening plate inside the seat (i took apart the seat, and welded the plate back together, and reassembled the seat.) i will probably be buying a better seat soon anyway...
so i have replaced: frame, seatpost, seatpost clamp, seat. the only thing left to replace will be the hub, cranks and pedals. all of this has ended up costing more than if i had just bought a better uni to begin with....
