upgrade or buy a new bike??

091chippy

I bought a relaigh airlite 100 last year as my first bike to see if I liked it and now Im thinking of doing a few sportives and charity cycles this year, but im wondering if I should invest in better wheels and tyres and a carbon seatpost or cut my losses and go for the felt f85 or simalir
Comfort is important to me I hope to do a few 100k+ spins this year
any advice very welcome

I guess it depends on what your budget is? And how much you want to upgrade the parts on your bike by.

I was in a similar situation, went for the new bike option and am so glad I did.

I am not familiar with your current bike but if you think the frame is ok then upgrades will get it just way you want it.

Any off the shelf bike will be a compromise of parts. Something really good here and some not so great elsewhere?

I seen the felt f85 for €985 and read alot of good reviews but not sure that thare is alot of difference with my own bike
not really sure what to look for in the line of new wheel and tyres
