Home User said:I have an old Peugeot Orient Express, a mountain bike I
purchased in the mid-80's. I haven't ridden on it over 10 years, but if I
knock the dirt and dust off it, I think it will be good to go. Honestly, do
you think it is worth restoring? If so, what would be some suggestions on
improvements/upgrades?
It's usually not cost effective to substantially upgrade older bikes.
Technology has come a long way in the last 20 years, especially in
mountain bikes. Before you invest a lot of time & effort in this
project, at least look at some new bikes at a bike shop and take a
couple for a spin. You'll then be in a better place to judge for
yourself whether that old bike is worth the investment.
