First Cross Bike Setup
I have just ordered a Kelly Bedford Tig Cross rig. This will be my first foray into cross.
I am looking at using a 4-5 year old Chorus group I have that has less than 500 miles on it. Of course then it was a 10 speed system but thinking I have 3 cogs sets I can choose from plus...no money out of pocket on it.
Plan is to use the shifters, front/rear derailleurs.
Looking at brakes as in EuroX or the 959SL...any insights great on this are welcome
Crank is up in the air...anyone tried the campy Cross cranks? What else is out there?
Gearing for my first season: I plan on doing a few races in the NJ/NY/PA and NE area thus have no clue on what to use for cross.
Wheels will be a alloy tubular...still looking but Cole and Revolution are on the list...maybe something better the following season.
Ideas for a first time cross bike would be great.
