I am looking to update my 1994 Spesh rockhopper into a somewhat modern hardtail. Specifically I am thinking of fitting a dampened fork and disc brakes, to replace the standard items. The frame and gearset (Shimano STX) are in very good nick.
Anyone want to comment on whether this makes sense cost wise or whether I should look at starting from scratch. Also any recommendations on suitable components - ie. want a good quality but not ridiculous budget.
To fit disc brakes I take it I will need new wheels, any other complications that I am unawere of?
Thanks dudes and dudesses!
