I converted mine to drop bar. It's a bit heavy, but it's comfortable on the road. I did get it for cheap because there's tons of mountain bikes on craigslist, and it wasn't in perfect condition. It's got nutted wheelset, not quick release. Also, the front brake cable is routed through the stem. If you change the stem, you'll need one which can handle the cable.
good luck.
Thanks for the info! I ended up talking the seller down to $100, which was my limit for a frame. I am picking it up this weekend and I'm pretty excited. I'm not too worried about the weight as I'll be using it more riding with my kids than anything. Good to know on the front brake cabling. I'll make sure I check that out before buying a stem.
Hopefully I'll hit 10 posts so I can upload some before/after photos once I complete the rebuild. It's going to be my winter project.
