New bike or upgrade old one?

[Cletus]

Hey guys, been off the bike for a few years and ive recently been bitten by the bike bug again. I saw the new 2020 norco sight a2 and really liked what i saw, but i have a 2014 stumpjumper expert and was wondering about fitting the new gx group to it and going a 160mm fork to slacken the head angle up to make it a bit more dh/enduro friendly. Or should i just sell it up and get the shiney new bike?

Shortest thread ever.
I thought you were just asking which colour you should get the new bike in?

 

[Cletus]

Right, i kind of thought as much. Time to sell then.

keep and ride it first, i would go shimano over gx so your hubs can take 11 spd and no need to upgrade, actually t was 10 spd, just grab a 11-42 sunrace, was it 1 or 2x? —, i’d b going 150mm travel fork, 130 is what it shipped with right? and probs throw on a -1deg angleset

Agreed. Best looking one.

I'm trying to convince a mate to grab a 2020 Sight.... geo is spot on !

 

[Spike-X]

This is a trick question, right?

 

[Paulie_AU]

Can confirm 2020 sight is good. Heavy but good.

I like easy questions.

New bike. You will be motivated to ride more, you will get fitter, and your riding will improve.

I would hang onto the Stumpy it looks pretty nice .
Does it have a 130mm Pike fork ?
