Hello From Canada

Hey guys,
I am getting back into biking. I used to ride a cheap Supercycle/ CCM brand bike sold by Canadian Tire back in the day as a kid. Eventually the Supercycle got stolen, and the CCM fell apart and just was made really cheap so it was inevitable.Wife and I started talking about biking together so I got my hands on a Gt Aggressor 3.0. It runs pretty smooth. very sharp turning and fairly comfy (my butt isnt used to the seat). I did replace the seat with a better Gel seat which will still need some breaking in. I was wondering if this bike was worth doing some mods later when things break down like the front shocks and put in a new fork and ceramic front brake etc?

Thanks and good day.

Welcome. I am over on the left coast waving.

The best thing is to ride. The more you ride the more you know what you like, what you want and what you need. Ultimately if it pedals it is good to go.

Then the more you know about what you want to move up to the easier the decision is on a cost benefit decision.

Will do, I already know one thing that bugs me is my foot slipping off the pedals when I am pedalling harder. That will be my first upgrade.

Pedals are easy upgrades and are easy to change if you change bikes.
