Leveling out the saddle will help a lot, I think, until I can afford to replace it. But it's the first thing on the list after a helmet. It's kind of beat up anyway, and my last bike had a pretty rigid saddle I liked a lot. I've been doing a lot of searching and reading on the forum! And there's a good (Trek) LBS here and also an outlet/second hand store. ~I love to buy gearrrr!~

I'm lucky in that I'm 6 feet with long arms and legs, so I'm easier to fit than most women. I know I want to switch out the twist shifters for triggers, and I might change the bar to a drop or touring bar. Gonna measure my sitbones then take a trip to the LBS and tool around looking at stuff and getting ideas.

This is my list of things to do:

helmet (ABSOLUTELY MUST DO THIS FIRST even though its the least fun part)
batteries in the lights/new lights
can the saddle be tilted? otherwise new saddle
probably need new tires too actually
cage+waterbottle x2
replace twist grip shifters with trigger shifters/shifer+brake combo things
handlebar tape
gloves
rear rack + pack

And this week I'm going to do a complete wash and lube. Because it's gross.
