This is a cross post with another c&v thread (sort of) but I've decided to convert my 91 Rockhopper to drop bars as well. This is the Rockhopper as found:


Today at my LBS I picked up some midge bars, deore front and rear derailluers, shimano double MTB crankset and adjustable quill stem with removable face plate. The drops on my univega work well for that bike as a primary commuter, but I wanted something more versatile and gravel-appropriate for the 'hopper. From what I've read in the forum here, midge bars should fit the bill! I'll post an update on the build when I get it together.
