new bike vs. component upgrades?

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

My mom has a OCR C3 and she really likes it, she upgraded it to ultegra and went from the triple to a double compact. She also put on a set of mavic kyserium es's. She does call her bike the work horse, because it is a little bit heavier, but she likes it that way because when she gets stuck in cross winds she doesn't get blown around like the rest of us.

Oh you are SO LUCKY to have a mother that is active and rides bikes! Treat her well!

I know! I appreciate her very much, I wouldn't know what to do without her in my life! And her boyfriend, he is the one who got her into riding, and they are the ones who got me into riding! They even bought me my first bike for the holidays the other year( I had gone away to college, partied to much, got into some trouble, I came home changed my act around, got really into running, and they were so happy and proud to see the new me that they got me my first bike)

sorry for that short thread hijack there!
