I've got an old british eagle ZFX which fit me perfectly, however... it's rusted on things like handlebars etc and think the gear sets have been dinged a bit so catch on gear change.
Is it likely to be cheaper to get a totally new bike, or just new handbars/stem (maybe forks) rims etc?
I'm happy doing the work myself, but don't want to spend money and time hunting for the right frame size, (gotta be 23/24 minimum)
Was considering something like specialised rockjumper or something similar, hard tail mtb if i'm going for replacement.
Off the top of my head, stuff that would need replacing :
Rear sprocket set
Handlebars and stem,
Fairly sure front forks and possibly the rims (therefore tyres too if everything is apart)
Chain,
