My first conversion
This is my conversion, 1986 Techium 440. New 27s, flipped and chopped the drop bars and overhauled the rest. Before and after pics, open game on opinions.

My opinion is: you don't understand the concept of the 'before and after pic.'
That's not the same bike. Before is a 48, after is 62.
