I thought about this....I'm doing it backwards.
Since there is actually nothing wrong with the current components, I could just buy a set of friction thumb shifters add a set of brake levers, and ride the wheels off it.
Since they don't need to be higher end I can find everything for literally under $30. No more dialing in the SIS system, Low maintenance and I can feather the shifters if need be.
I guess I was being nostalgic about the XT parts and wanted what I had way back when.
Since I originally only paid $20 for the bike it keeps with the bargain bike theme
