Hi, I'm after a 1990s MTB, Trek, Marin, Specialized, etc 17 inch frame or thereabouts. I'm thinking about converting it to a "road" bike (fitting drop bars and STi shifters) to make a "bombproof" commuter. Is this a daft idea? I just don't want to wreck anything decent when I start a new job in the new year. All help and feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks
