Quite a Simple one, Should I stick with my Lemond Filmore (cromoly about 4 years old) and upgrade the forks? I have already changed the BB, crank wheels and seat or go for a better frame and forks, I like steel and would go for steel again, but is it worth it?

nope, if you are going to go for a similar frame then no, unless you are going custom I wouldn't bother, maybe get come carbon forks?

If you like the way it rides get it repainted and rebuild it with all the parts cleaned e.t.c. It will feel like a new bike.

Just change the bar tape. That'll do it.

In a way that is the answer I was looking for. I might save a bit of money! But need to find some carbon forks now! There is alwaays something else to change or tinker with......

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
