FWIW, I used a similar kit to convert my '97 Gary Fisher to a SS, but after replacing the cranks, bars, grips, fork, etc. I wound up spending more than I would've paid for a brand new SS.
I cannot agree more, but some times it is way to keep oneself busy and spend small amounts of money at one time so (wife) is unaware that I have yet another bike.....
