I was fortunate enough to buy a nearly unused F7 for cheap, but have never had a bike w/ presta valve tubes and wheels. Do I need to buy a special tire pump or is there a way to convert to (not sure of the term) "regular" style tube?

Thanks

When I bought my Cannondale, the dealer gave me a mini pump that fits in the saddle bag. The pump came with attachments and works on the presta and schrader. You can change your tubes for a schrader valve, as long as the hole is large enough.

your rims won't work with a shrader. and shrader valves on bikes are for freds, so just get a presta pimp already.

Or you can get a screw-on adapter that works with a Schrader pump.
I would recommend this to anyone unfamiliar with presta valves since it's not hard to bend the posts on them and ruin the tube.
