yeah those were the vital changes - of course you also need road STIs first thing
then the less-vital changes to make it all work
right:
- switched to a wider range freewheel
- switched the v-brakes to 80mm mini-v brakes to get the lever-feel/modulation correct
- swapped in a shorter stem
- added a chain guide
- longer kickstand to compensate for the taller tires
- different saddle to compensate for the more road-like riding position (not shown)
- shortened the chain a bit
- redid all the cables/housing/tape
then the "just-because" changes:
- scraped off some decals/stickers
- lightweight pedals
- lightweight skewers
- chainstay protector
