What do you mean ‘any tips?’ Have you not worked on bikes before?
Also wtf is shamango in relation to bikes?
I‘d recommend that before you spend too much money, figure out how you would like it to fit. If that is your saddle height, you may end up wanting handlebars with some rise.
After replacing anything that’s been worn down — cables, grips, tires, inner tubes, brake pads — you then try to adjust the stem and seat height to dial in to see where you’re most comfortable at, as what I see here is initially an aggressive riding setup for racing.
