My 1999 Specialized Hard Rock A1 Comp needs a new bottom bracket and chain
rings. I can't shift the crank bolts so it will have to go to the LBS
(Edinburgh Bike Coop). I guess it will cost £100 or thereby. I'm always
replacing bits as they wear out and it is only these bolts that stop me
replacing the bits myself this time.
But I am now wondering whether it would be better to put the money towards a
new model at say £400-500 than carry on with something that has done 8 years
good service? For example, I fancy hydraulic disk brakes - just 'cos I
fancy them.
What would people advise?
