Road Bike To Hybrid
Morning All,
I have recently bought a road bike, which I believe was a bargain at only £45! Ive spent more money on brakes before, so to get a whole bike is a win win! (bike is an Raleigh Airlite 100, not sure what year).
My Question is what parts would I need to convert it to a hybrid?, I have various of bikes and this being my first road bike would like to keep the ride how i'm used to and not the "race" style. I have already had a look at previous posts, but all say different things, so bellow is a bunch of links to which I think would complete the conversion. Bellow is two sets of brake levers because im not sure one is compatible with my brakes.
Any feedback is much appreciated!
Joe

I'd say the "must" are handlebar, brake levers and gear shifters. I don't think you need to change the tires or stem.
