I e-mailed a seller several weeks ago that was selling an older road bike for a relative. Ad said they really liked the bike and hated to sell but they were getting older and wanted a more upright riding position and wanted to get a Hybrid to replace it. It had stem shifters so I recommended they just swap out the stem, bars, brake levers and saddle and keep the bike. Didn't get a reply but the ad was gone less than an hour after I sent the e-mail.
