so i had this 26' hardtail for about 15 years. nothing too fancy but i've used and abused it in mountain trails, daily commuting, touring and bikepacking trips and even some moderate dirt jumps.
i love it but i'd like to move to a better MTB ride, so i'm buying myself something nice this summer.
i was thinking on selling this old one but nowadays no one is paying too much for an abused 26er, so maybe it can be converted to something like a gravel/beater ride that i can use everyday or in trips, flatter trails, etc.
i was thinking on changing the fork to a rigid one (the actual suspension one is busted so i have to change it anyway), the flatbar for some drops (fucked geometry, i guess) or maybe a jones type loop bar, and the wheels for some more spiked rims and thiner tyres.
is it feasable or too stupid?
