So the original purchase was inexpensive because the rear axle nuts had come so loose the bearings had fallen out so the rear wheel was just a wobbly mess... and as mentioned the headset was not in great shape, so I can't give you a before/after quote on ride improvement.

I will say that this is my second go to bike in my stable. The fork plays well off the geometry of this frame and is very responsive - the carbon fork and carbon bars combo make for a nice smooth ride also...
