I'm not really sure to be honest.

I think I'd like to keep most of it original, but upgrade parts where it makes sense (if that makes sense?). It's a fairly heavy steel frame and was bought mostly to learn about wrenching on bikes and as a project, so I don't want to spend a fortume on upgrades.....that said, if there is a component that makes sense to upgrade while it's apart for reliability or compatibility or other reason, I'm totally open to doing that.

The wheels and bottom bracket might be examples of that. The rims look cool (this dimpled textured surface) but the might be a bit warped or dented...we shall see I guess!
