Hi. Thought I'd seek advice from some experts. Back in 99 I purchased this bike with one of my first pay packets. It was probably ridden for 200 miles at most before it went in to storage for 18 years. It has only just come out again and is all original components.
It obviously needs a service but the Marzocchi shocks are very spongey. I'd love people's opinion on whether or not it's worth spending time and money getting it to a good level again or should I sell it and buy something new?
I now have children that want to go on rides. It's highly unlikely it will see anything other than roads and light trails. Should I change the forks to a rigid set instead?
I would really appreciate any feedback, thanks for reading and look forward to any response.
I loved the look of the bike and always felt it was a bit of a crime it was never used!
