Just picked on of these up, had a few questions about it. I plan to ride it as is for a month or two to gauge my interest in this bike. I need it to last for a while, but have been considering doing a single speed swap in the near future. Just wanted to get some advise on the bike thus far. It has all the original parts, in used but decent condition (Shimano Z-Series parts). I did notice that the left brake hood it not in line with the right, and am not sure how to go about leveling them.
Is this bike work upgrading componentry? Stem shifters are a little weak IMO. Also I notice many people refurbish these bikes, and dont convert them to single speeds. Down the line if I wanted to do that would it work well? I also wanted to paint, and perhaps customize it a little bit. Is this bike not worth doing any of that?
Thanks!
