Would we really notice the off series parts or, would it make sense to replace them but enjoy the bike as it is for a long time first? I've been riding for 25+ years but still use a Nashbar on my trainer which originally cost $250 back in 1991. My main road bike is a 2006 Schwinn comp with Ultegra. I've been trying to find parts slowly to build up a 2009 Schwinn frame to match my 2006 but am still short of a full build so this Fuji has me wondering.....maybe I wouldn't know a really good bike until it rode over me!
