I rode my old M400 (96' model) today and busted the front tire on a root ,so new tires on front and rear. I am trying to make a decision to rebuild the whole bike, it needs front gears, new brakes, cables, levers, shift levers, front derailleur, I just replaced the rear with an inexpensive Shimano Alivio. My dilemma is the local Performance Bike store has the GTs and Diamondback entry level MTB bikes(29", front shock, with disc brakes) on sale for $499 ( 12 months same as cash financing), with tune-ups for life and a warranty. Im just not sure that spending another $250 or more on the M400 is worth it versus buying a new GT or Diamondback.
Any opinions will be welcome.
thanks ron
