If I ever stumble across a If I ever stumble across a small frame Trek Y26 for next to no money, I'll be torn between converting it myself or just picking it up to hold for one of you guys. UPDATE: I just searched Craigslist, and a guy fewer than 100 miles from me (he's in Chandler...

That's a pretty tall frame, That's a pretty tall frame, especially if you have any of the vertical challengement Charles alludes to. I'm 5' 10" tall, and my converted Cannondale Super V400, which is significantly lower, just barely allows me to put a foot down. Unless you're a really big guy...

I didn't do the conversion, I didn't do the conversion, but the pictured bike is now in my care. You should be able to see the driven wheel actually mounts to the conversion kit - not the front fork. The kit offsets the mounting to the outside. You actually have more of a problem moving the old...

Necks do get stronger with Necks do get stronger with practice. On one of my more adjustable lowracer seats, I would attach a temporary headrest every time I lowered the seat a notch. I'd leave it there for a week and then remove it. Then I'd repeat for the next lowering. -Dan
