I've recently gotten back into mountain biking quite hard...
My bike is a 2007 Trek 6500 and I've been considering buying a new one. I would stay with Trek and a hard tail setup. (I ride almost exclusively cross country)
I had this idea while out riding today that buying a totally new bike was dumb... I could just upgrade a few of the components on my old one. The frame still fits me perfectly, I just bought new Kenda Nevegals last year, it has 27 speeds of Shimano Deore XT, mechanical Avid disk brakes, and a decently light frame. So instead of buying into a new bike I was looking at new forks, rims and possibly brakes. Sound good?
Also could anyone send me in the right direction looking for these parts? I'm a tad clueless
