What can I salvage?

t0mt0m

I have an oldish (circa 2002) hardtail built around an small Azonic DS1 frame, it served me well for many years but I was about a foot shorter when I originally built it!

Now I'm pondering getting back into riding again, and I definitely need a larger frame, the problem I'm having is nearly all the of newish frames are disc only, ideally I don't want to spend 100's on new wheels and discs.

The spec of it at the moment is something like this:

Azonic ds1 frame
Mavic D521's on XT hubs
Rock Shox Judy Race's (2002 )
LX cranks
XT front + rear derailleurs
XT Shifters
XTR V-brakes
Azonic bars etc...

What do you think would be worth salvaging?

I was looking at the on one frames but they are all disc only, maybe an old Chameleon frame or something new that still has v mountings? help! :shock:

salvage the rear mech, and front mech if it'll fit your new frame. the forks should be ok too, as long as the steering tube is long enough. the shifters, chain and cassette are worth keeping if they are in good condition.the XTR v's are great, and are well worth keeping if you want to stay non-disc, if not they'll fetch a bit on ebay and you can use the cash for teh new stuff.

the on-ones have the v-brake mounts...

Ahh, maybe the images don't have the mountings screwed in then, still they have been out of stock everywhere for a while I gather?
