1) Suspension
2) Tubeless
3) 27.5 / 29er wheels
4) 1x drivetrains
5) Dropper posts
6) Disc brakes

Probably makes more sense to get a new bike.

Sounds like it. Would be fun to get a new ride more capable on the trails and convert the old timer to a ss or something. Heck depending on how old the geo is could make for a good road bike.
