I converted a Mtn bike in to a hybrid/commuter, but in order to do it effectively I had to upgrade to disc brakes. that way I can run 29'er rims on the 26 inch frame and still get the brakes to work. the only other thing I had to do was change the crank from a 44/32/22 to a 48/38/28. It's a steel frame but it's great as a commuter, I just added a rack last week, hopefully soon I won't be using my backpack.
