I haven't gotten to ride much anymore, since having kids, but I recently injured my knee and have been riding my bike as part of the rehab. Now that I'm actually using my bike again I'm wondering about an upgrade.
I'm riding a Vitus 979 that I swapped wheels/gears etc over to a 7 speed configuration years ago when I was actually riding it. It's fine, the frame fits me, but the front chainrings are slightly bent and I live in a hilly area and wouldn't mind some extra gears to help out my weak legs.
I saw a Litespeed Teramo with Ultegra 9 speed for sale locally for $1200. Then I started looking at new bikes....
Anyway, my choices are
1) buy wheels and derailleurs etc again and upgrade my current bike.
2) Buy Litespeed Teramo for $1200 or thereabouts
3) Buy new bike with disc brakes and modern tech for similar money
4) Other
What would you do with my money?
