I just finished a rebuild of my 2010 Gary Fisher HiFi Pro, and thought you guys might like to see how it came out.
I purchased the bike at the beginning of July off Craigslist. It was in pretty good condition when I bought it, but it could definitely stand some upgrades.
Original bike:
The bike had mostly original parts except the rear mech and shifter was upgraded from SRAM X09 to X0 and the avid brakes had been replaced with Shimano XT M-785s. The Shimano XT front derailleur and two chainrings were removed to make it a 1x9 drivetrain.
I rode it a few times and definitely wanted to upgrade the drivetrain and decided to go with the SRAM GX Eagle 1x12. This was going to require new wheels as well. The forks and rear shock worked great, but the frame pivot bearings needed to be replaced. Since I was taking the bike completely apart I decided to give it a new paint job.
Here's some photos of the original bike, tear down, strip down, prep and paint:
