Apparently the pedals are weighted? I'm a little surprised that they would weigh so much but what do I know. And I want a decent looking bike but most important I just want to get from A to B in something I'm proud of. In regards to the breaks would I have to get new ones to accommodate the drop bars or I can keep what I have. If I were to get the ones that most people have on their drop bars what would I need to buy/replace. Thanks for your quick response!
