I've recently bought a new full suspension bike, and I've been wondering what to do with my lovely Bird Zero. At first I considered selling it and keeping my road bike. But I've changed mind, I like that bike too much. So I'm getting rid of the roadie and converting my Zero into a rugged tourer.
Having ridden it to work I already know it's not much slower than my road bike, so i figure if I can drop some weight from it and get slicker tyres, I'll be well set. I'll also want to get a rigid fork.
So the point of the thread is, would this be easy go do? Any pitfalls I'm not thinking of, especially in regards to swapping in a rigid fork? Has anyone else here down something similar? Or do you think I'm going to ruin a good bike?
