Obviously you're referencing the Jewish ghettos in WWII Germany, Poland, and elsewhere, right? +1 to what Danfoz said. There's a large segment of the bicycling population that will critique your fit, your bike parts, and your bike based on their narrow minded views of what such things should look like. Screw those people, and do what makes you giggle. You can also avoid those people when riding. They put an ugly taint on cycling.danfoz said:I think you should do to your bike whatever makes you happy. Screw everyone else.
I am very sensitive to ghetto-style modifications. Not P|mp-style ones, ghetto-style ones. I have seen too many horrible mopeds in my life, too many... Those disk brakes... those damn disk brakes... /img/vbsmilies/smilies/nonono2.gifOriginally Posted by Deeders1 .
I have a Giant Escape, Im new to riding, would that be ghetto to do a drop bar conversion. I find that riding the regular stock bars hurt my wrists after riding awhile. Dont really have alot of money right now to buy a good road bike. Any thoughts?

They see me rollin'...they hatin'!
Thing is, aestethics aside, there are more issues to that than you might imagine.Drop bars run another diameter than flat bars, so making your controls fit will be kinda hazardous. You might be able to widen them. they might crack in the process. Buying new controls is likely to run expensive. Putting the old controls at the apex of the curve is unlikely to work at all. So youre left with either at the bottom of the drop(how much time do you think you'll spend there anyhow?) or the center section.Originally Posted by Deeders1 .
