Kona Lisa...
That is about a $1000 bike if you pay retail.
So, light wheels, maybe a $ $150-300 upgrade?
New tires, $40-60 each?
Crankset, $150-600
cassette upgrade $30-150,
(I just pulled some prices off Performance)
ismsho, ride the crap out of the new bike, wear it out, wreck it a few time and then go upgrade the whole darn thing.. A few ounces or even a pound here and there is not going to make a huge difference on an 8 mile grade, but improving your fitness through a committed training program ought to yield results in a matter of weeks.
