Thanks for the kind words. The conversion was pretty straight forward. I had to use a European bottom bracket kit to convert the BMX press fit BB. It works like a charm. The stem was the greatest challenge. I ended up using a 5" Pyramid stem riser. To this I added a 40 degree high rise stem. The wheel base is the same as my Bike Fridays(39"). The top tube is a little shorter but I compensated by using a longer stem.

From the reasearch I've done, I found three mass produced frames in this catagory. The Haro Dart, Hutch HPV and the Schwinn Qualifier. Most were only produced 1 year.
