Hi I'm am currently in shanghai right now, all these bikes would be sold or given when I get deposted. So its hard to get 700 parts and local bike shops rarely stock them and if they do, its at a premium.

For the front, I can probably get the brakes to fit on it with a 26" MTB without changing fork or I can change it so that it can accomodate a 26 * 2.3 tire. Theres probably many options in front. I am thinking which is the cheapest to do.

Was initially thinking of fitting a 700 * 45c tire to the front.
