What is an upgrade kit? If you want better wheels get better wheels if you want a lighter fork get one but always keep in mind, is the bike worth putting a lot into for upgrades or am I just spending money to spend money?
It may improve the bike slightly but if the bike is not worth improving you are better off spending the money towards a better fixed gear. Sometimes you can spend more than you paid for the bike new on other components and if it is just a generic fixed gear it probably might not be worth it.
