need new drive train!! help me

In article said:

I need a new drive train but i don't have 400 bucks to put on a good one. i have an older
stumpjumper comp like 1997 or 98, and i don't want to put [censored] on it. if anybody has like a few
parst lying around that they want to sell like some LX or XT drive train parts from '99 or 2000,
i'd appreciate knowing that they're for sale and maybe we could work something out. thanks!

What are the actual parts that you're missing or need to replace, and what parts do you have
already? The most economical fix depends entirely on what you have and what you're replacing. Is the
current equipment 8 or 9 speed?

Well, knowing absolutely nothing bout you, your riding style, the use you intend for the parts,
where you intend to ride them, etc. etc. etc. I will not offer any product recommendations.

What I will do is suggest that you go have a good talk with the friendly folks at your Local Bike
Shop and see what they can come up with. I'm sure they'll love your business <not sarcasm>.

That's what I'm doing with the "new" Reaper WE'RE building, since few of the parts from of the
fourteen old beast it's replacing seem to fit (I wonder why??? ;-3) ).

May you have the wind at your back. And a really low gear for the hills! Chris
