Glad to hear that, I don't know if Hybrids will become C & V but some of them are nearing that age. Here's a before and after of a 730 I did a few years ago. Picked it up at a garage sale for $30, had some severe paint damage on the left side from a bike carrier so I covered that up with green 3M reflective tape.

Before:



After, changed bars later to sell it. Not everyone is a fan of trekking bars. It went to a good home, a young woman who was starting to ride with her husband and wanted something better than her WalMart Huffy that she could also use to run errands on, she fell in love with it.
