You'll probably need a much stubbier stem to run road bars, I'm guessing.
LOL trust me i was thinking the same thing about the saddle.. unfortunately the ton of bricks is elsewhere
and luckily happen to have a pretty stubby road stem that I might try out
It looks nice and the components look well kept in particular the shifters. Well worth swapping out components if the size doesn't work out. It's like my old Mongoose MTB, looks good like I should be doing something with it but cant get over the weight of it.
yeah you're right, the components actually look like they've fared pretty well. the nice thumb shifters were one big reason I was interested in this bike.
here's a few more pics
