I'm not familiar with the brand; but I can pull up a pic and specs. It looks like it has a 7-speed freewheel, which tells me it came from a dept store because freewheels have been obsolete for 20 years. I just question if buying the gear to convert it to disc -- new wheel, disc, and fork - call it $300, is a smart move. If you convert both wheels, you could easily have a $200 bike that you just spent $500 more to upgrade. Better in that case to buy a new $500 bike that already has discs.
