Hearing posters opine that it may be wise to 'think again' is certainly relevant whether you wish to read it or not. As I read it, there is one rude and inappropriate post in this thread, guess who..
Haha, good one... I'm not the one who told the op his bike isn't worth $30 and some effort. This isn't a rebuild, it's a cheap and straightforward modification to a bike that the OP already uses. Telling the OP it's not "worthwhile" answers a question that wasn't asked, and it happens frequently on here.
There's no accounting for taste; investments in bikes intended as "riders" rarely make a return-on-investment in terms of market value, but tossing a few bucks at making that bike a triple is something that the OP has already decided is worth his time/money/effort. I happen to agree, although that question wasn't asked, either.
