First upgrade of many to come I’m sure

Nice upgrade project, honestly this is where a clear parts order makes a bike build feel way tighter without wasting cash. With your son on board, i’d keep the first changes simple and focus on control for shared rides. The [flat-to-riser grip kit](https://featherab.com/shopit?flat-to-riser+grip+kit) is a practical first move, and the [lightweight platform pedals](https://featherab.com/shopit?lightweight+platform+pedals) are a strong companion upgrade because they reduce rider fatigue and improve cornering confidence. Start with one change at a time, then ride both technical and mellow sections before swapping anything else because the smoother the cockpit feels, the more your pacing improves. I feel you from the build phase myself, and this sequence usually gives the cleanest return for the least money.
