Bike Appraisal: Gios Compact

I love the frame but the dt shifters just don't work for me. I thought of upgrading to ergo/brifter but I don't know if the cost would be worth it. I may part it out but I'm not sure.

So, I thought I would ask what the forum thinks is a good asking price.

Cheers

I can't answer your question about value, but if you like the bike, the upgrade to brifters is pretty easy. With the 7 speed, I believe an 8 speed brifter will work.

New Centaur group $600 + a new rear wheel = $150 + labour. You could do it for less with Veloce ergo shifters, chain, cassette and derailleur as well as a campag 9/10 speed rear wheel.
