Bike Upgrades

Small changes. Massive difference.

You don’t always need a full custom build to fall back in love with your bike.
Sometimes it’s just the right bars… better contact points… or a rack that actually works for how you ride.

At Pineapple Supply, upgrades are about feel, function and longevity — choosing parts that make your bike more comfortable, more capable, and more you.

Whether you’re riding daily, loading up for adventures, or bringing a tired old frame back to life, these are the upgrades we recommend (and run ourselves).

Handlebar Upgrades

Change your bars, change your bike.

Bars are the biggest personality shift you can make to a bike.
They affect comfort, control, posture — and how confident you feel riding it.

We help you choose bars based on:

  • How you ride (city, gravel, pub runs, bikepacking)

  • Your body position and reach

  • Frame geometry (especially vintage MTB & 26” setups)

Popular options include:

  • Flat & riser bars for control and simplicity

  • Alt bars for comfort and multiple hand positions

  • Bullmoose & period-correct bars for retro builds

  • Drops for longer rides and loaded setups

Perfect upgrade if your bike “just doesn’t feel right.”

Pedal Upgrades

Your connection to the bike. Don’t ignore it.

Pedals are easy to overlook — until you ride good ones.
Better grip, better power transfer, and more confidence in all conditions.

We’ll help you dial in:

  • Platform pedals for everyday riding and skate-shoe grip

  • Alloy or sealed-bearing pedals for durability

  • Period-correct pedals for restoration builds

A small upgrade that instantly makes your bike feel more solid.

Saddle Upgrades

Comfort isn’t optional.

If your saddle isn’t right, nothing else matters.
The “best saddle” doesn’t exist — the right one does.

We match saddles based on:

  • Riding position (upright vs aggressive)

  • Distance and frequency

  • Style — modern comfort or classic aesthetics

From broken-in leather to lightweight modern options, we focus on saddles you can ride all day, not just admire.

Grip Upgrades

Comfort, control, character.

Grips are one of the cheapest ways to transform your ride — and one of the most personal.

Options include:

  • Lock-ons for security and control

  • Soft compounds for comfort on rough roads

  • Retro rubber or period-correct styles for restorations

Fresh grips = instant refresh. No excuses.

Rack & Cargo Upgrades

Carry more. Ride more.

Whether it’s commuting, pizza missions or bikepacking, the right rack turns your bike into a workhorse.

We specialise in strong, simple, functional racks designed to suit real riding — not just looks.

Upgrade options include:

  • Front racks for daily carry & baskets

  • Cargo setups for bikepacking and touring

  • Modular rack accessories to adapt your setup

Built for old frames, odd mounts, and riders who actually use their bikes.

Mixing Old & New

Modern function. Vintage soul.

Our sweet spot is blending refurbished frames, classic components and modern upgrades to create bikes that ride better than new — without losing their character.

You don’t need to replace everything.
You just need to replace the right things.

Not Sure Where to Start?

That’s what we’re here for.

If you’re unsure which upgrades make sense for your bike, riding style or budget, we’ll talk it through.

Some riders come in for bars and leave with a whole new relationship with their bike.
Others just need one smart upgrade.

Either way — we’ll point you in the right direction.
