First time rebuild
#2
it looks decent in the picture. first I have to ask if the front end setup is just as it was when you were riding it last? it looks to me as if you are operating the fork and brakes backwards, who assembled the bike if this is the case?. depending on just exactly is junk on this bike at the moment, you may want to reconsider the thought of money is not a problem. I did a 4300 last year that was involved in a car accident that involved just about everything except, fork, one wheel, stem. the came to about $380 and the labor was traded for helping me move.
If the bike was insured then find another bike and sell that one as is. It is just not about all the parts you need but also the amount of tools you will need to perform the task, plus the skills involved.
If it is still a go, here it is. first gut the frame, check bag and tag every part,next inspect each part to see if it can be saved or not. you might be better off to buy another wheelset for the proper speeds you have. that level of bike I would go with Shimano Alivio components, derailleurs,crankset/BB,shifters, Suntour fork, disc brakes of your choice. Not much to it just $$$. The list you seek does not exist and is not needed. now you can upgrade and build to suit, a blank slate as it were. measure your seat tube for fit of the new derailleur, buy the speced BB for the new crank, pic the gearing you want it and the new rear cluster, buy a nice chain, KmC or sram with a quik/missing link. and the tools needed for each task. take closeup picks of your BB area and we can tell you what tools you need. If doing the work your self like for fork repacement you might consider a saw guide for a good cut. we can show you how to make a cup press. once you think you have a list of what you need, let me know and I can help you spec components and tools.
There are two kinds of people in the world, "Those who help themselves to people, and those who help people!"
