Has anyone had any experience with converting a road racing bike to a "commuter" (more like cyclo-cross I guess) bike? I have a Orbea Road bike that I am considering converting for more everyday use. Apart from changing the bars to straight one, changing my breaks, and putting flat pedals on and fitting my robust tyres, is there anything I am forgetting? Is it worth the change or should I sell (should get around R3k) and try and get something else? I have a budget of around R1,5k. Thanks!
