I'm bored while I try to heal and treat my neck so it's time to try another drop bar conversion. The last was on a Trek 800 Antelope that is stupid heavy. Now I figured I'll try it with the 93 Trek 950. May need a Technomic stem or use a quill adapter to get the bars a little taller but will set it up first with a quill stem to see how it works. Think I'll go with the bar end shifters like last time.

How narrow a 26" wheel is possible? Wouldn't mind trying a 1.25" or 1.5" street tire. I have some 1.75" Forte tires on a set of wider rims but their pretty heavy.
