About a year ago, I got this early 90s GT bike with 7 speed XT, I've been enjoying riding it around and I feel like it fits me about perfect and if it disappears, it won't be the end of the world since I have so little invested, so I find myself riding more than I did with my road bike. Recently the rear derailleur of the GT fell apart and the mismatched cantis have been giving me trouble. I found this circa 1995 Rockhopper with little signs of use and 7 speed STX at the thrift store for $20 (ready to ride except for a shitty stem, saddle, and broken grip shifts). Both bikes are about the same size, so I figure I could swap parts between either one to make one good around town bike that fits me. I'm inclined to put the STX parts on the GT, but I could go either way. At the end of the day they're both low end aluminum frames without replaceable derailleur hangers, what say you /n/? Is there anything I may have overlooked here (I promise to lovingly hoard any good left over parts in my basement) Pic of the Rockhopper to follow.
