So you think $1200 is reasonable?

When you say fairly easy to convert to 26" wheels.. assuming the brake reach, would there be much else involved? If not, I'm guessing I'd have to get some kind of adjustable caliper (can't really tell what the brake are from the picture)? I don't have any idea about clearances on this bike yet.
