Hello,
I recently got back into biking via collecting. I started collecting my old bike and riding them again. I forgot how much fun it was. I want to gel back into trails and dirt jumping. The last bike I had for jumping was a 96 GT Fueler. I made the first step and purchased a 00' FA Flying Fortress F/F Stem and Bars. I was wondering what I would want to put into it to make it a decent trails bike. Currently I am using my 92 VFR and I do not want to destroy it.
So far I have just been working on getting my rhythm back and small airs over table tops. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Check ebay for some profiles and a decent set of sealed wheels. But it might not be worth building up around a heavy older FA kit. Lots of complete bikes out there that would suit your purposes better. Good luck JD

Thank you for the help guys. I will look at some of the newer stuff for a build. What about chain wheel sizes? I noticed they are small on freestyle bikes; is it the the same for trails bikes nowadays (with cassette rear hub)?
