Cool. So far I'm liking the Specialized Hotrock Street a lot. I definitely need to go in and try it out, then. I'll ask when I'm there about fitting a rack on the back, I'm sure they'd help me. I'll probably get mine off amazon as well. Along with several other accessories; while the lbs has a good selection of bikes, they have a poor selection of accessories.

And I definitely want to see pictures of yours when you're done converting it!
