GarminFan said:I have a Claude Butler San Remo road bike, I'm looking to upgrade it bit by bit (I can't afford to go buy a new bike outright).
My question is what order should I buy the components? ie; new frame first followed by chainset then wheels etc etc...
Thanks!

Wheels would be a good start, if you are happy with the frame and component operation.
GarminFan said:No, absolutely not. I'm not selling anything, nor have I any association/ties with anyone selling.
There's nothing wrong with the bike per-se (the gear change could be a bit sharper if I was being critical.). I'll have a look at wheels. Thanks.
