had the wheels on my trek soho 1.0 2008 stolen earlier today
i've decided that it's a lot funnier than it is upsetting
but it's quite annoying because i don't really have a bike available.
realised that I'd need to spend ~£150 for a new set of road wheels for this fucker, and at the same time realised that I could buy the single speed version of the same bike for the same price.
so. my question is... can I buy the soho s (single speed version), and mod the wheels (add brake discs to the front and back and add the gear cassette) myself?
I just figure that I might as well spend the £150 (bike) + 70 (pads + cassette) and have the option of single speed, rather than £150+ on a new set of wheels only?

The hubs on the soho s won't take either a cassette or discs, so that scuppers your plan. If you can get the s for £150 buy it anyway, cos at retail £425 new that's a bargain.
Trawl ebay for a suitable disc wheelset....you might even get your own back!0
