nice clean looking bike,unusual paintwork.......nice.as for hybrid or not depends what ur into.personally myself im all into hybrid stuff and dont really like the look or the way the standard lc's sit,but as i say its a personal choice and it would be a very boring world if everything was the same.i would have liked a banana arm conversion but they are going for mental money which i cant afford right now......but maybe sometime in the future...i just wana get out now and enjoy my hybrid caus i put a lot of work into the thing the last 2 years. cheers lco

You could hybrid it without making any changes to the structure of the original bike so if in the future you wanted to put it back to standard you could. Just store all the original parts ;D

Plus you don't get the hassle from the decal and bolt police

As it such a nice looking bike I think it deserves a sympathetic upgrade to bring it up to date a bit. Nothing too fancy but subtle so you have to look twice.

Don't know if you have these or not but here are the drawings to fit the RGV front & rear ends without any modifications to the frame. Obviously you won't need the dog bones if you are fitting the braced arm these are for the banana arm. 92.48.206.111/~rdre/draw/RDGV/RDGValinone.PDF

I think white rims will look good. If not, well you can always change it. Btw I hate to bring it up but wtf have you done with the seat!? It looks like a babushka at the rear lol.. ;D Can't you fix it so it looks a lil better?
