What do you mean by that?

What I mean by that ^ is- I'm using an old Stumpjumper and/or an old High Sierra to make the ride in.

I've got Panaracer Paselas on the Stumpjumper- and I'm looking to get some "cruiser" type bars and something like a sprung B67 saddle for it.

I'm looking to get something similar to those tires on the High Sierra and a different saddle on there...

Are those bad ideas?
