if you buy that bike, the only way you are allowed to convert it to fg/ss is to leave everything on that bike except the saddle(a brooks springer would look great) and the rear wheel(replace it with a chrome box section 27 inch like the front). you also must put lots of racks and leather bags on it. it'll also help if you wear wool knickers a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches, argyle sock....oh and be british.
