Need New Drive Train
I've got this.
bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?year=1995&brand=Gary+Fisher&model=Paragon
I'm replacing everything in the drive train.
Cassette
amazon.com/gp/product/B005DTWRLI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3SBDOAENTRT1F
Chain
amazon.com/Shimano-ICNHG71116I-CN-HG71-8-Speed-Chain/dp/B00N3R30WC/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1487726952&sr=1-1&keywords=Shimano+CN-HG71
Crankset
amazon.com/Shimano-FC-M171-Altus-Crankset-170-mm/dp/B003ZMFNX4/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1487726449&sr=1-2&keywords=Shimano%2B8-speed%2Bcrank&th=1&psc=1
But not sure on the crankset.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to just replace the chain rings in the front but it's a 20 year old bike so I'm not sure I can find them.

And I can readily find chainrings for my 40 year old crankset.
So, according to the specs on the bike, you should have a crankset:
Shimano Deore LX HyperDrive-C, 22/32/42 teeth
It always is good to check to see what is ACTUALLY ON THE BIKE as things can change over a bike's life.
Does it have some numbers on the back of it? FC-(something)? 5 bolts?
Anyway, once you get the exact crank model, you can get the "BCD" of the chainrings, then hunt for some new ones.
8 speed is usually a cassette, so you should be fine.
And pretty much any 8 speed chain will work.
