Bikes: 1999 Giant Iguana SE

General noobie question

Hi all!



So I'm not really sure where to post my noob question so I thought the general mountain bike thread would be a good place to start



I did some riding 2 years ago for 2 years but now I'm looking to start again and perhaps take it more serious. When I was riding I was using a 1999 Giant Iguana SE and I still have it; that thing was a beast for me. The only problem that I ever had was that it wouldn't drop to the heaviest gear but took it to the bike shop and got it fixed. The frame never got bent or anything even though it went through a decent amout of trails. So here's my question... As you can tell, I'm attached to this bike and I would want to keep using it, so would it be a waste of money if I bought new components for it? Not just new brakes, this and that, like really modify it or would it be waste of components for such a frame and therefore use the money for a different bike? I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks
