    Fellow West of Scotland here.
    I know Portavadie.... Not far from Tighnabruich... lovely part of the country.

    Can't really recommend a bike, but think it is better to get a new bike than upgrade bits and pieces....

    Past it a few years ago, but not ridden round there. Think the village was for Oil Fabrication workers, but never took off. Need to get back there. Might get the road bike out and get round that way.
