Plenty of cheap upgrades on there.
Fork would be the logical starting point. If it's an on road commute go for a rigid fork or one with lockout if you plan to take it offroad at somepoint.0 -
Good suspension forks available from 100 quid such as the RS tora. But as above, rigid would be fine for commuting.
Nothing really wrong with Speshes budget bars and posts, but you would save some weight. Save a lot more with new tyres though.0
