Anyone else get freaked out for a sec when seeing page 404? ;-)

Yes, I did the conversion myself. When all was said and done, it was just about 400 bucks in parts. I love it. My hands used to go to sleep all the time with the riser bars. But now, for the most part, they are fine. Except for the thumbs every now and then.

2012 Raleigh Misceo. This was when i first got it 3 months ago. Since upgraded to trekking bars and red bar tape. I'll post more when I can. Can anybody say poor man's Bad Boy? Hey but at least it's a true 29er frame

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get it for?

$500 out the door from LBS, includes free tune up and lifetime 10% off accessories. Weighs about 28lbs, 38c kenda kontour tires feel great and are awesome enough in rain such that i don't need fenders. Oh yeah free Giro Venti (large-ish) helmet to keep my full figure melon safe!

By my reckoning, we're only on page 337. But I do get your reference. Don't believe we're in error yet.

You can change your posts per page setting, so not everyone is on 404 (although I am).

Well done! It's my undercover city bike/budget build. It's fairly light, you don't need to worry about paint chips or rain and it blends into the background. It doesn't look like much, but it's a nice rider! I ALWAYS pull the seatpost, so no one would really see the Brooks. It's either with me or under me. The aero levers/v-brakes work extremely well...but the shifting is not my favorite. I need to pull the bearings and make it truly friction.

Yeah, I prefer more posts per page and less page loads when reading a thread that's already established.

Sigh. Honestly, this is depressing - I really, really should have gotten the 404 reference.

but didn't get this one:
until I'd replied immediately after it, and then smacked my head.

Super-spreader
Picked up a winter bike yesterday!
It's a 2003 model, but it rides like a Lexus, and I don't think the original owner even put 100 miles on it.
I've got some work to do commuterizing it, but I think it will serve me well in the November muck.

this is my new baby. 1984 fuji del rey with new everything except for frame/fork, crankset and derailleurs. Waiting on white prologo saddle to match the tape and rims.
sorry about the quality. My best camera is the one on my laptop.. .
