I sold my touring bike last year, and this year I want to convert my old mtb to a drop-bar touring bike. Who has done it, and what are the challenges I can look forward to? Mine is a 1989 GT Timberline, with the funky brakes on the underside of the chain stay/bottom bracket area. I currently use it as a grocery getter, around town bike. I find it comfortable but want the drop bars for personal reasons. I am also thinking an OMM front rack to ditch that handlebar bag.
