Hi everyone, I'm new to the cult having just purchased an old (around 2000 I guess) Nomad Exp which I haven't even laid hands on it as yet having purchased it unseen off Gumtree. It looks a little tired but there's a reasonable amount /some money available for a renovation (hoping to end up with an excellent tourer - if possibly too heavy-duty for my purposes really - for under a grand). I wondered if anyone had any tips as to what (and what not) to do? I'm already assuming that I'm going to need a couple of new chainrings / chain / cassette; and I'll obviously look at the headset bearings and BB (the wheels again I'll have to assess on arrival - how desirable (I'm always thinking resale) is a dynamo?).
Any thoughts very much appreciated.
Paul
