I just recently (two weeks ago) purchased a new baby. But now I have a problem, what to do with my first love. I don't want to get rid of the bike and would like to give him new life. He's a 1990 Diamonback Centurion Venture roadie. Still very functional as is. Steel frame, old shimano components, downtube shifters, 54 cm. I figure I have a great opportunity to learn a lot and still create a incarnation for the ole boy. I know very little about fixies, mixtes, or cyclocross bikes. Is a conversion to one of these reasonable? Lots of time, not so much $$$$.
Thanks for ANY help. I know you ladies will have great ideas.
