Basically it needs a complete overhaul. The bearings in the crank are beginning to grind. The wheels need to be trued. Cables need replacing. Brakes need a good adjustment; basically it's falling apart due to neglect on my part. The only good thing(s) on the bike are the tires and tubes.
I think for now I'm going to hold off on purchasing a new bike. Save up a few more dollars and then decide if I'll have my Sedona fixed up or purchase a new bike from a LBS.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in with their comments. I appreciate them, and they definitely gave me much to think about.
