After almost a year of working on the bike I have finished converting it from an entry level hybrid to a mid-level pseudo-hybrid/road-bike.....bike. I have changed pretty much everything except for the frame and the headset (it's a long story). The pics I have posted were in my bike's "summer" stage and since then I have changed the stem, removed a headset spacer, changed the fork, added gold accents, changed the saddle and seat post, got rid of the taillight and pump, got a new seat post collar, changed the front derailleur, removed the granny ring, changed the cassette to a 9 speed, and swapped out the rear derailleur cage. Hope you enjoy!
