The Bike Shop / a little help updating my '03 Fit custom

« on: August 13, 2016, 04:02:26 PM »

Hello, I am just getting back on my bike after a 13 year vacation from riding. I plan to just be doing strictly park and some dirt riding this time around since my local park has a dirt jumping section. All I plan to be doing in the park are grinds, 180's, 360's, manuals, and pretty much just flowing around the park. Same pretty chill on the dirt jumps too just flowing through having fun. I have no plans on street riding atm or anything crazy whippy or spinny or even too technical to be honest. At my age now I am just happy to ride.

I was wondering what everyones opinion would be to updating my bike, or should I just build something new and start from scratch? I'm 5'11 175 with long arms, and after not riding for some time I have noticed I am hunched over a bit on this bike setup. Now this may be normal and I just haven't been riding in so long to remember.. Also I noticed my tires I am using seem outdated from Back to the Future or something?

I would really appreciate everyones options and opinions as I could really use the help from all you riders. Thanks!

Here is my setup I was riding in 2003:

'03 original Fit frame
T1 bars
Primo headset
Kink stem
Primo cranks
Profile 14mm hubs
Sun Big City rims
Odyssey forks
FBM Threshold 36T sprocket
Snafu pedals
Odyssey evolver brakes
Dirt Harry brake lever
T1 pegs
HB seat
Primo dirt monster Front
Primo wall Rear
