    Hello.

    I just came in looking for some ideas and suggestions, and parts. Anyway, I have this frame: Was thinking about putting some drop bars on it, and some coaster brake wheels - but I can't decide if I want to go with skinny road wheels, or if I want to put some wide mountain bike wheels on it...
