Hello! I have Orbear Rallon R3.

Is it still good by modern standards? I think about replace it by modern Specialized stumpjumper fsr 650b. Is it worth it?

    That depends. Do you enjoy riding it? If it's still working well for you, there's no point buying something new just because it's new.
    I happen to rather like the Rallon, so if I were enjoying riding it I'd stick with it (as per my outdated, but still super fun Pitch).

    It's kinda perfectionism :) I really have much fun with this frame. But I wonder to see some comments of those who change it for something new and say - it's really worth it. If there is no so I will stick with it.

    No matter what you have got there's always something better. If you enjoy riding it then it's a waste of money buying something new.
    The Stumpjumper will be quite different to ride so it's possible you might enjoy it less.

    My frame is a 2006, it does what I want very well, just as well (or very close) to a more modern frame, so I won't be changing it in a hurry.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
