So this is my bicycle
(sopuli.xyz)
Good morning community. This is my first post here.
So this is my bicycle, from year about 2004 or something down there. I would like to make some improvement but it might be too pricey. I would like to put a more modern transmission: now it has a triple chainset 22, 32, 42 - as it was common back then - and a 8-speed rear cogset 11-30. I'd fancy a more recent thing and also a rear disk brake. So it means I should change the whole transmission, put a shorter freehub suitable for the disc, put the right spokes and so on. It's not urgent, but I'm thinking about it and I'm afraid of the cost of all these things.
Apart from that I'm having a really good time and I'm fond of this bicycle.
Sorry for my roughly translated technical words
Quite frankly, I don't think it's worth upgrading this bike. If you want to do it right, it'll cost the same or even more than a new bike.
I have a 1998 Kona Cinder Cone. It sat in a shed for 7 years and rust destroyed many of the components. I priced replacement parts to get it ready to ride again and I also found a used 2016 Boardman FS Pro on ebay. The used Boardman cost less than the parts for the Kona, and the Boardman was full suspension with excellent parts. I bought the Boardman. It's been loads of fun.
I guess what I'm saying is ... I agree with you :))
Yes, doing the maths it's what I suspected
