Hi
I got into cycling last year, and I got myself an Orbea aqua t22. It's nice, but I find myself wanting more - upgrading parts etc.
Are there any places I might be able to get on and get a bargain, perhaps second hand stuff as I'm not exactly flush with cash unfortunately! I've looked at a few things on eBay etc - and I'm thinking about slowly acquiring the parts I need - like getting myself a decent frame and building a bike I'll be really happy with so I can use my Orbea as a training / winter bike.
I desperately want a better gear system as the shimano one I have has thumb shifters to shift down, so I can select a better gear when I'm in the drops - constantly changing my hand position is beginning to grate on me!
Any thoughts / ideas / help / charity welcome!!!
Cheers
