I priced out the parts to upgrade my road Peugeot. It still rides well but I'm not comfortable with the riding position given my back and neck. I need a rather more upright riding position. Suffice to say it's more costly to upgrade than to buy a used bike on Craigs list. So I've been looking. This time of year there is a good variety available. It looks like a 20"+ frame, probably a mountain bike with road tires. I've seen a couple that were nearly appropriate but none that precisely meets my needs. Since I've got a bike to ride already I'm inclined to wait for something that does.
While looking at bikes today I found a nice Trek that would be perfect but it was a bit small. I stopped to look at another that was advertised as large. It turned out to be a small framed Cannondale for $30. I bought it for BB even though she already has a bike. It needs a bit of work so I'll let BB look at it and try it out then decide what to do with it. If nothing else I'll use it for parts/trade.
