So I just bought one of these:
It has huge, stupid, curvy drop bars that I hate.
I'm thinking if I convert the Inbred back to a proper MTB I could give it wide bars again and use the cut-down risers on the Bowery.
It has a brown saddle - puke. It does kind of match the wheels and bar tape but perhaps I can replace the "explorer" saddle with an SLR or maybe an old Flite.
It needs lower gears. It's a pub bike so 48x16 SS will probably be flipped for fixed gear and then I'll need to lose the 48 or stick a bigger cog on. I think I still have some Condor cogs in my collection.
