I’m kinda in this same position with a V1 Bronson; upgrade vs new build with old parts, vs new bike.
If you buy a new frame you will have to rebuild the wheels or spend money converting the hubs to new standards.
Make a spreadsheet. Do the math.
Option 1 - build with old parts, rebuild wheels, sell frame.
Option 2 - buy a mid level build and swap the rims/wheels (pay to rebuild) and sell the TB with the mid level wheels
Option 3 - buy a high level build and sell the complete TB.
For me, the best bang for buck is buying a mid level GX build and swapping a few key items.
One thing worth noting is SC will release the Tallboy 4 at the end of the month. If the trend of the new SC bikes continues, it will be just as good as a peddler but gain a little weight and gain a lot of descending capability...
