From N Central IL.
I am Bran. The only bike I have owed since the 80s is my (Miami Vice Blue Season One) Hard Rock by Specialized and it hasn't seen road since 2003. I am planning on spring of 2017 to be riding it again and WILL BE looking for upgrade advice as a winter project. Thanks.

Welcome to Bike Forums. Why wait until the spring of 2017? No time like the present to start.
