  1. Hello,

    My wife and I are getting back into riding bikes for fun and this fall I would like to do some upgrades to my bike. I would like to see what you guys think or could help me with.

    The type of riding we do right now is mostly on bike trails. a combination of dirt, lose stone and pavement nothing off road in the woods type of riding. we also have our 2 year old and 1 years old in a seat on the back of our bikes.

    The type of bike I have is nothing fancy again just got back into this after many years of not riding a bike and bought it off of craigslist

    Schwinn Mirada Sport
    Hyper Glide

    Gears and derailleurs are Shimano Gs100.

    The Frame is in good shape no cracks Bar ends are a little scratched up.

    So what I'm wondering since this is an older bike would it be worth upgrading gears, derailleurs and tires and send it off to a friends paint shop to be painted this winter?

    What would you recommend up grading to?

    Thank you so much.

    Camble

  2. What year is the schwinn Mirada? Schwinn has been making the Mirada since the early 90's. What brand bike is a Hyper Gide? Is this also a Schwinn? Schwinn used to make good quality mountain/trail bikes back in the 90's and early 2000. Newer schwinns are very cheaply made and sold at places like walmart.
