Five years ago, I decided to convert my late 80's/early 90's no name brand MTB to commuter purposes. Back then I had added a rear rack and fenders. I swapped out the flat bar to a riser bar, and changed the tires to Ritchey 1.4 slicks. I also put in clipless pedals. This is how the MTB looked after the upgrade 5 years ago:
Recently I got the itch to make some additional changes. I ended up upgrading a few more things for commute & touring purposes:
- replaced saddle and seatpost
- replaced riser handlebar to trekking bar with Ergon grips
- replaced quill stem to threadless stem
- replaced clipless pedals to platform pedals.
- added handlebar bag
