    By the time you put on a new fork, handlebars and shifters you are going to have another $400 or more in it.

    It will never behave like a road bike no matter what you put on it. It's a different frame with different geometry. If you screw around with the fork it may handle like crap. Oh, it does NOT have road rims. It has comfort bike rims. You put a 23mm tire on it at 125psi you'll have an explosion.

    It would cost less to simply buy a road bike with similar components. This could be done, but it is not worth the effort.
