you're going to have to present that last post in terms I can understand lol. I am not personally super concerned with keeping it classic I just want to make it easier and more fun to ride. I'd like to get new handlebars, wheels, saddle, and possibly crank (the one on there is a double with the teeth ground off the big ring and its ugly.) A tallbike isn't really practical for where I live. What are these turkey lever bosses you have green lit? The guy at my lbs was the only person I have asked that put doubt in my head asking if I really wanna invest money in a cheap bike and if I really wanna mess with an already classic look.
