Hey guys.
I have a few leftover bikes (Huffy, Magna, Roadmaster) from my earlier
days of biking when I didn't know what I was buying. Since I have
them laying around, I was wondering if it would be possible to take
the frame and upgrade all of their parts, similar to what you would
find on any low-end Trek or Specialized bikes?
What that then make them decent beater commuter bikes? I was thinking
that maybe bike thiefs probably quickly decide whether to steal a bike
or not based on the brand name of it's frame. These frames would make
much less theft appeal.
Can it be done? Why or why not to?
