my conversion is almost complete as well
Started this project in April. Converting to single speed for now as I save up for the gearing components. I'd like to try a few weekend tours with this setup.
Started off as an ugly *** TREK 820 with a metallic red paint job and really low end parts. The only thing stock on this bike is the QR seatpost/wheel skewers. Had the frame/fork powder coated.
Years ago I had J and D racks and bags. Sold them all back then. This time I plan to go with VO front/back.
Edit: I may go with a shorter stem.
