Back on ya bike
Hello from Australia,
After a few years of neglect I am cleaning up a Giant 2013 XTC Advanced that I primarily used for commuting to work some years ago. I am working on my fitness both on and off the bike and plan on enjoying more riding on the trails. I am also learning more ond doing more of the mechanical work on the bike than I ever needed to do in the past. I have upgraded some parts I always wanted to when I was riding and now I'm looking at new trends and components to upgrade since the scene has changed since this bike was produced.
TIA for any help I receive on these forums.

Welcome to the forum, home of hundreds of helpful people and a few cranky ones.

In my experience the searching planning and tinkering it’s really the fun part. Some of my best riding was done on a well tuned piece of low end factory junk. By no means trying to talk you out of it. But if you’re similar perhaps there’s a much wider variety of bike projects that you could choose from besides upgrading your daily rig
