Just been given a FreeBee, old Raleigh Nirtro MTB. It's bad boy lol, 10speed, canti brakes indexed shifters
I actually really like it, the paint is in remarkable condition, few dings but it'll come up good and as a whole it has a charm to it and I'll probably keep it.
Question is, do I restore it back to near mint with original kit that's on it now OR, upgrade it?
If I upgrade I dunno how far it, take it, just put Vs on and newer shifters/cheap up to date drive train, or go the whole hog with a bouncey fork and disc up front etc
Thoughts?
