Greetings everyone,

I am new here, so hello everyone, and I am also new to this type of bikes with suspensions and hydraulic brakes! My new project bike needs some repairs and so my very first question is how can I determine the year of the bike? It is a deep green bike with the name Beast world cup design on yellow.

One of my first tasks is to replace the triple sugino crank set, which has a stamp of 175 on the back. Gears are 42/32/22. Does it make sense to replace it with the same crank set or are there better options that I should consider that would work better for that bike?

Thank you!
