Opinions, to preserve or rebuild...

Dirt Disciple
Theres a longer story and some pics to go with this (pics monday probably), but Im looking for opinions on wether to preserve/restore a relatively nice trek 9700 OCLV mtb which will either get sold or turned into a garage queen, or strip the original components and convert it to a flyweight gravel bike (that would get used regularly) with some high end early 2000's components I have been hoarding for a good cause?

Thoughts and opinions?
Thanks!
 
I have some old race face carbon cranks, vintage xtr seatpost, brakes, ti brake posts, and a ti fork that i previously had no interest in using (i like suspension) but couldnt part with. Add the tiagra 10 speed drivetrain and ritchey wheelset off another bike that I think im gonna convert to single speed, and there you go....:)

Wish I knew. I got it second hand and its unmarked, but i found one on ebay that looks like it called a Sibex....
