Thanks to another list member, an early Waterford era Rivendell frame (with two
forks!) is inbound. It's a 55 +/- in size and while I rode a 57 cm Trek Pro 560
for a couple thousand miles a few years ago, 55 is just a bit too tall for me
in 700 guise. So, I'm approaching this as a 650B conversion. I picked up a
Campy Veloce 130 mm BC road triple (square taper BB). The stock rings are
52/42/30, which may do just fine. The 42 may go to 40 though. It's very
lightweight and pleaseing to the eye. Anyway, I'm soliciting derailler ideas.
What bottom pulling front triple shifters are out there these days? RBW seems
to have gone awy from the Shimano 105 that came on my Ram. I expect that I'll
run 7,8, or 9 cogs, depending on what I find in the way of a wheelset. I have
randoneur bars and Tiagra brake grips on the shelf, and am thinking this bike
will be set up road standard-ish. Ideas (as well as offers to get your garage
shelf items moved to mine) are welcome.
TIA
Bruce
