I'm definitely still new to all this and learning but it's been great to already improve the bike just with some small maintenance. I'm getting to the point where I might need to make some bigger changes since I have been using it regularly and I'm not sure how much to invest in it rather than buying a different bike. I signed up for some co-op classes so I'm hoping I will be able to get some guidance.
