sorry it took me so long to respond--i've been out w/ some nasty stomach shznat for 2 weeks


1. I've already upgraded the wheelset, tires, seat, handlebars, and pedals on my pista--so i've already plugged plenty of moohla into that

2. I really want to try i covnersion and want something for taking on the pea gravel trails around here

3. The model i came across is newer than the one in that picture. It is black; doesn't have that big as$ disk thingy in the back and i think it does not have single peice cranks---the bottom bracket has an axle with a lockring on one end and where it attached to the cranks, on the outside of the cranks there is some sort of horizontal slit that looks like it takes a tool.

4. On the other hand the frame IS kinda heavy---then again, i want to use it for riding on the gravel trails so i doen't really need speed.
