Anyhow since my father getting his new Bob Jackson soon, I'm going to turn his old commute bike into a road bike, althought I have been dying to own a road bike I still need to make a lots of change on his old Genesis Day01 bike, particularly the bar, the brake and gear levers, and quite likely the inept groupset, I rather like the frame and it handle really nice for a cheap bicycle.
I know groupset are usually expensive, and this one is the bottom-of-the-line Shimano, while it work, it's a little dodgy to shift and are quite temperamentive like a dog on heat, do anyone have any suggestion to replace the current groupset? or any tweak/part to improve the current one? after all the last thing I want to do is spend a lots of money on it.
p.s. a lots of the part is rust to fuck, epsecially the pedals, can't fucking removed them.
