I've upgraded to 10 speed over the last couple of years and have mostly got the bits hardly used 2nd hand. Worth having a shop around, but in the long run it's probably more cost effective to get a complete bike.

Why not just get a template and adapt it, that way you don't have to do any coding. There are loads you can choose from or most web hosting companies offer them. I'm with Easily and they have a few on their website, including ecommerce.

Not sure on the power figures but I've only ever raced on carbon frames, think a lot of it is in the head.

Best upgrade I've noticed (on my road bike) is a decent set of race wheels and going to 10 speed, didn't think it would make that much difference but everything felt stiffer.

Without question Veloflex record for the front and if you've got the bottle on on the back a well. I use a Veloflex carbon on the rear just for a bit more comfort, traction and **flat** protection.
