You can find the story on my site (http://www.beurk.ca). It is really worth it. Before starting this, I was thinking about buying a mid-range road bike. But I'm glad I did not! The rig was a no-suspension mountain bike, so its stronger than a road bike and it forgives me whenever a jump on/off sidewalks or bunny hops over curbs. Highly recommended before throwing a grand on a new bike. - Mike About 6 months ago, I rebuild myself a commute bike from a rig I found in the trash.

Its still a sick ride, lil old on upgrades(06 last time). Also my mechanic@ the shop hsa been my boy for over 10 years so i mos def get the hookups,AND support my local shop! As long as upgrading doesnt cost more than buying a new joint alltogether, i strongly reccomend it.
