i have been riding this thing literally everyday to work and back, and whenever i have free time and its a fucking blast. i love it. riding bikes kicks ass. i havent had the repairs done yet but i did buy some chain cleaner and lube for some easy maintenance. my question is, was it worth spending money on this ancient bike, and 2, should i bother getting drop bars or bullhorn/pursuit bars? will my experience improve dramatically over the regular handlebars i have now?
