Does a whole bike count as an upgrade?

I've ditched the camelbak, too damn hot. Nice 12cm Birzman pump too.

A whole new bike is the ultimate upgrade.

Hmmm...last thing I bought to upgrade a bike...

And replaced it with a mug?! Just don't put cold drinks in it whatever you do.

My last upgrade was also a whole bike, in the shape of a Kinesis FF29, though due to my technological ineptitude you'll have to use the power of your brains to imagine what it looks like. It's green if that helps.

BD - what the hell is that going on? You havent bought one of those newfgangledbristoltramprunningover fatbikes have you?

Yorkshire rose stem cap. Not really an upgrade, but a really nice graduation present nonetheless.

Since full bikes are apparently allowed. Need better pictures really. 🙂

New frame, some old some new bits. Since added Zee 10 x 1 and an on one Ringmaster. 😀

i've upgraded to zee brakes from xt

Dropped my 2014 Lyriks to 150mm. Exciting stuff.

One of these 35mm stems for my upcoming Alps trip

Frame fork and wheels upgrade......minty big wheeled fun!

[IMG] [/IMG]

New forks (Slants) and saddle (Fizik Arione) on this:
[img] [/img]
As you can see I also upgraded the weather to Summer, although it's playing up a little at the moment which is a bit annoying. Forks and saddle are grand though.

[img] [/img]

one of these for the missus's bike to replace a worn out mono-veloce one.

My upgrade this month. Complete bike 🙂

BigDummy. Were you at gravity rally last weekend?

Upgraded my old head tube badge to a custom 1-off:

Got a new 8" radius bender to go with my 10" one, and permanently bolted my mandrel bender in position to make it easier to use:

One of these.

The weather has upgraded every ride for the last couple of months:
[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

New wheels and narrow wide chainring

Yes they are superstar wheels (tesla evo with tactic AM rim)

Chain hasn't dropped once in a week of riding in les arc and the wheels have been amazing

[img] [/img]

No more chesty cough.

@ matt_outandabout - spot on! Nice sunny night ride tonight, before storms kick in.

BigDummy that Chromag is well nice!

This was halfway through my latest upgrade. First time I'd ever serviced my fork and it was pretty easy! I also swapped the coil for a firm which has transformed the feel of the bike. No more dive but I still get full travel 🙂

[img] [/img]

I will be doing a full service soon though as I didn't replace the seals or anything this time so I'll be getting a service kit and doing it properly.

Picked this 'upgrade' up today...

^^^

Thought I'd seen the Chromag before, looks even better in the flesh, a genuine double take when you see it

[img] [/img]

Bit of 90s aero tech.

[img] [/img]

Bought a rockhopper comp on cyclescheme 18 months ago.
Have recently gone 1 x 10 with xt casette (11-36), zee mech and on-one ringmaster 30t chainring (because I am fat and weak) on deore cranks.
Replaced the fork with 100mm reba (thanks aracer!)
Replaced the wheels with the new hope tech XC on pro 2 hubs (which are awesome!)
It is like riding a whole new bike!
Not finished though, still have to replace the brakes (probably with deore M615), bars and seatpost (reverb).
Oh, and will also be upgrading the frame eventually (Solaris or sherpa) so I can go the full Trigger...

some of these
[img] [/img]

Latest upgrade. A full bike 🙂
[IMG] [/IMG]

Sorry, it's ticsmon I must thank for the rebas, no idea why I thought I'd bought them off aracer, must be going mad...

One of these (in black) for a frame which strangely has lower rack mounts but not the upper ones. [img] [/img]

My latest upgrade from a T-120 to a 146 with new forks, crank, stem, mechs etc. only my original wheels, brakes seat, post and controls left. Thanks Whyte for the free upgrade due to a warrenty problem.

😀

New tyres on my CX bike

Fin25, that view looks familiar. Is it Beacon hill?
Oh yeah, just ungraded brakes from hayes 9 tp to xt m775s. Big difference in braking and no worries about messing up the paintwork.

It is indeed...

Just bolting this on. Not going to have the luxury of unlimited training time after this season so going to have to sharpen up the few hours I will have.
