    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.
