Looking to brainstorm ideas for a conversion towards a street/commute friendlier bike – I dont know sht so and ideas and thoughts welcome even it means telling me it’s a dumb idea.

Put some big comfy bars on there and some street tires.
tires are 80% of the conversion, riser bars are the last 20%
For City? Rigid Alloy / Carbon Fork (steel is to petite), maybe 1x conversion front the rest of the drivetrain should be good enough, shorter stem with -17° and wider flat bars, new grips, new slicks
Yes probably 90% city – definitely want to ditch the suspension. Thanks for the hint towards the material will definitely keep in mind!
Yes: Tires and H-bars.
No: 1X ‘conversion.’ Totally unnecessary.
