    I would suggest that you don't make any upgrades to the bike, it is not worth any further expenditure. Maybe see if you can sell it. Sorry, but the best thing to do when spending £200 on a bike is to get secondhand - you could have got a decent one then. The cheapest decent new bike is likely to be £350 minimum, and not Apollo.

    Not being horrible, just honest.

    dont upgrade it, ride it until you have saved enough to buy a new bike.

    or, if you still can, take it back to the shop and try and get your money back.
