You both make really good points. As far as resale value goes, I'm not really too worried about that. I like working on bikes, and I get a lot of enjoyment out of spending a bit on one component and installing it on the bike. As it stands right now, the bottom bracket is starting to be....clunky (if that makes any sense) and I've noticed a few missing teeth on the middle chanring, so I was thinking a new BB, new crank with a single chainring, removing the front derailleur, and replacing the fork with a non-suspension fork, because that's a whole lot of weight and wasted energy since I never really ride off road. Basically, I'm mostly curious about whether I could eventually end up with a decent bike built around that frameset (and maybe a culmination of eventually replacing the frameset, therefore having a completely new bike)
