Hello,
I own this bike : https://tokyobike.us/products/classic-sport-cs-26-matte-moss-green
Here are the current specifications:
Gears: 8-Speed Shimano Claris with 42t x 12t-25t Gear Range
Shifter: Shimano Acera Rapid Fire
Front Hub: Quick Release Polished Alloy 32h x 140mm
Rear Hub: Quick Release Polished Alloy 32h x 135mm
Bottom Bracket: Cartridge, Sealed Bearing 68 x 118mm
Crankset: Lasco, High Polish Alloy 170mm
Seatpost: High Polish Alloy, 26.6 x 250mm (47cm) 350mm (53cm-61cm)
Stem: High Polish Alloy 22.2mm Quill Stem – 180mm length with 80mm extension (160mm length w/60mm extension on 47cm)
Handlebars: High Polish Alloy Riser Bar
Brake Calipers: Tektro R369
Brake Levers: Tektro AC330-RS
I like my bike but I feel the specs. are a bit on the low end. I would like to upgrade my groupset and get a dropbar, however, Id like to keep the classic aspect of the bike.
Mainly, I would like to upgrade the simple chainring to double and also I would like groupset that is more performant than the current set up.
Do you think it is a good idea? if so,
I made a list of potential purchase, which one would you recommend:
