Got a Kink Primer from a friend so I thought I'd do some upgrades. So far, Mission bars and forks just to get some chromoly on this thing. Some Vans grips and clear brake shoes that actually work great on the black rims. Chrome used to the only way to go. Finally have some warm days coming up. At 53 and after about 12 years off, I am determined to finally learn how to manual. I obviously want a new frame but what are some other upgrades you'd recommend?

By the way – it’s a Sunday (primer), not a kink!😉
Color of your bars and forks is sick!👌 Is it black chrome?
Sunday, not kink! Chrome barely exists now because it’s expensive and its quality is far poorer than it used to be. Swap out the seat and post for a separate setup, will allow a level of adjustment and customisation.
Bonus points for the Vans grips.
I’ve been looking at Kink frames all morning then proceeded to call my Sunday a Kink, lol
Those black chrome mission parts look really good on the more satin black frame. Nice job!
I would say get a good set of pedals. I grew up in the era of metal pedals in the early 2000’s and the plastic ones nowadays aren’t doing it for me. Waiting on new set of odyssey metal pedals to get to me to put on the bike.
