    Cheers! My first road bike, have done 200 odd miles on it. Needs new handlebar tape - thick, gel-filled handlebar tape as i feel every bump on the road and my hands, wrists and arms have a good workout on a 15 mile ride.

    I put new tyres and seat on it and want to replace the gearing/cogs as even the lowest gear feels too hard on some hills.

    It's all good :)

    Apart from the gearing, the wheels are where you'll see a huge improvement.

    I love my '86 Elite now I've put some modern gear on it (read; replaced everything except frame, forks, and bars)

    What would you suggest for new wheels?

    Weight

    Working on the presumption it's got the originals on there (can't tell from the pic). It made a huge difference to mine when I stuck some modern(ish) and not very light Vueltas I got from eBay.

    I've still got the originals in the garage - never got round to taking them to the tip.

    86 front with spindle, OEM tyre and tube = 1980 grams

    Vuelta Airline with QR skewer, Gatorskins and tube = 1420 grams

    Half a kilo of reciprocating mass at the front alone!

    Might have to compare the rears now

    Here's mine - viewtopic.php?f=40044&t=12885994

    Cheers DB! Lot's of info in your thread for reference and your's is looking good. Yes, all originals ( apart from Charge saddle & Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres ) Will be looking on ebay for wheels first.
