i'm not a fan of most conversions. or almost all conversions. i hate risers. i hate bright colors on a bike (i hate PINK), especially on grips/veeps/chainring. i hate hate hate riding ss.
my recent buy is a conversion, with neon pink grips on risers. it's also running a freewheel and i have yet to flip the wheel to the cog side because i haven't found my bike tools. go figure... things will change soon but i thought that was a bit funny.
