I just picked up a Univega Gran Turismo the other day and was wondering if anybody could give me some specs on it. It needs new tires and wheels and I'm sure a load of other things that I can't tell since I've never really owned a bike that wasn't from walmart. I'm considering converting it into an everyday commuter bike, possibly replacing the handle bars with some nitto albatross handbars, and putting on 700c rims/tires that are a bit wider and can be used all season.
I know this probably kills some traditionalists, but I think it would make for a more comfortable commute and I am definitely open to any/all suggestions and help.
