Because I'm comfortable on my Diamond Back mountain bike I decided to modify it for ride across America rather than buying a new one. 
Products list:
  • Surly Moloko handlebar, 31.8 black
  • High Performance Power Grip Pedals with Strap
  • Surly Troll 26" fork. 1 1/8" Threadless Black
  • Gilles Berthoud fender set, 26 x 60, stainless
  • Schwalbe Big Apple Plus 26 x 2.15 Wire Bead
  • New brake and shifter cables
Total Cost of modifications - $529.38
