Hi everyone, I've got a Hybrid for commuting, but would like to improve my old Roadie for long distance rides (linky). No-one seems to want to buy it so I may as well upgrade it. I'm looking for some advice as to how to improve this as I have no idea. Could you please recommend what I could do and a list of priority order as I'll be upgrading on a budget. obviously i'll be looking to make the biggest improvements at the start to get the best results.

Thanks all Rich

You might like to put some better tyres on it, mudguards, extra padding on the handlebars
But if the bike fits and works ok it's hard to see how to improve it
