I've ridden dept. store bikes thousands of miles over the years, and haven't had a serious failure. I know that it's nothing big and fancy, but I'm a new teacher with thousands of debt on a new teacher's budget...
check out yard sales, co-ops, craigslist, etc. for an old road frame. i'm just saying in the long run, you are not going to pleased at all with a converted roadmaster.
