I’m about to do some long overdue maintenance and weight saving upgrades to my 2011(?, it was certainly pre-2012) 2-speed (with the flat bar).
Never had any hinges/pivots changed… really worn, I hang my head in shame at the lack of maintenance, but it has sentimental value!
Would a Ti seatpost, new handlebar by Kuosac, 3-speed conversion be a good start. New Contact Urbans seem to be the tyre choice.
Do have an M_V special fork, CK gripnut and fancy brake levers in a box waiting. Some DA 7400 cranks, but unsure of bb length.
Any suggestions/comments?
At some point is a reasonably maintained secondhand Ti version a better bet?
