I own a
2012 Fuji Roubaix 1.0. I did a tune up in 2017. A new tune up is way overdue, but I’m considering an upgrade instead. Questions:
1. Would a new bike with carbon frame reduce weight noticeably? (Budget on low end ~ 2K)
2. What are the benefits of getting a new alloy bike with upgrades (i.e. Ultegra + hydraulic brakes) vs. keeping mine and upgrade components. Is it worth the extra cost?
3. If I sell my used one, should I tune up/spend money on it, or simply clean it and put it on sale?
4. Considering a current back injury and still wanting a light/fast bike, is there any upgrade or feature to consider that would improve impact absorption?
Thanks!
