hi guys. just a quickie as not going to be on here for long. Ive got an old raleigh flyer road bike which was given and I love it. trouble is I dont like the drop bars because Im used to mountain biking.
am wondering if I could fit some mountain bike bars to it? sounds stupid I know but Ive got some old bars here and wondered if it would be possible, almost creating a hybrid the shifters are on the downtube so that isnt a problem, it has U brakes so would it be a case of finding some U brake compatible levers and just fitting them or would there be any modifications needed. I wouldnt have thought so personally but road bikes are new to me.
any help appreciated guys.
