Hello all! When I decide to upgrade components like crankset, derailers, cassette, chain etc. Where is a good place to go for budget conscious upgrades? I’d like to buy components that won’t break the bank and can be trusted on a single track.. The bike I own is a 26" Schwinn Aluminum Comp. I know that it won’t match your standards but it’s what I have to work with. Is a person best off buying a kit or components 1 at a time.
Thanks in advance for the advice!

Hey! Thanks for the help..

What are you looking at upgrading?
You can usually get some good deals on jensonusa.com and pricepoint.com

Your Schwin Aluminum Comp is basically a sub-$200 bike. Most of those upgrade components that you listed will cost you more than what that bike is worth.
Throwing money at upgrades on a bike like that will not gain you much. At this price point, you are much better off buying another bike with higher end components, and then selling off the Schwin.
