That's awesome.
I bought the same bike for $50 last fall from a co-worker.
The gear set was crap so I had it converted to single speed also.
Weird thing is that I also plut on a rack and foot straps.
I got some thinnner tires also, but I love this ride.
Now all I need is my new set of handle bars and this baby is on.
Apparently I never appreciated this bike. It did its job in school but I always resented its sloth on the road AND on a trail. Maybe my issue is with the salesman who touted its road-bike geometry and off-road capability. I suppose I should have recognized it for what it was, instead of what it would never be - a road bike nor a mountain bike.
I have been commuting on my Metro Track 750 since 1993. Other bikes come and go. I couldn't come up with a better city bike for under $1500 now.
