But, is there anyways to work it so i can convert it it into a road bike?! new breaks what ever?! my friends both have very nice road bikes and the one i have is massive, weighs 30 plus pounds and is from 1979. They smoke me... my mountain bike is nice, has al frame and weighs nothing. I would have a lot easier time keeping up with them if i was able to convert this. It would def take me a long time to save up for a decent roadbike... sadly... and i just got the mountain bike... it is easier to use when biking on campus. Sadly it is not as easy when doing long distance biking.
