Okay..no responses..Anyway.I ended up modding out the bars(kalloy lopped off 3" for her),changed the brakes(shimano) and levers(tetkro) and grips(serfas) to something upright for the wife..Now it's like riding a 27" ten speed with the view/feel factor of a small 24" folder on steroids..LOL!The wife says it's the most comfortable bike she's ever ridden!:-O At least she'll probably ride it now!
