    It can't be done. It has track ends with no gear hanger and a 120mm spaced rear end, so even if you could somehow attach a mech you wouldn't be able to fit a wheel with gears in there. Also, chances are the rear bridge won't be drilled to take a brake even if the front fork is, and the geometry is all wrong for road riding. Even if it was possible it would cost a fair bit. You'd need new wheels and an entire groupset. If you want gears then you're much better selling it and buying a road bike.
