Right different tactic. I'm looking at Campag levers now. I can live with this, I'll take the opportunity to just do something completely unfamiliar why not. NO messing with my back wheel then, I can just whack a new cassette on it.
Will get flight decks or better when I do my 'ultimate' build when I have more money.
CARBON ALL THE THINGS except the frame. Like the lunatic I am.

Nice! I'm flexible though as I'm only using the frame from the mountain bike; so I can go for road bike stuff. Only issue is the possibly-campag wheen vs. the shimano based setup I was planning...but these plans may change!
I am watching that one on ebay, would be perfect but chances are it'll surely go well out of my range

I never used the flight deck bit,but the reviews generally say it's a bit of a crock.
The STI bit's good,I'd have them on my aero bars,but they don't fit.

Remember if you're putting a road chainset on an MTB frame then you'll need a front mech that can sweep out quite far (as larger road chainrings need a long BB axle length to clear the MTB frame), thus you might end up having to use an MTB front mech or at a push a triple road front mech.

Will the largest chainring on my road cranks (2 chainrings, 52/39 shimano tiagra cranks) sit further inboard than the existing (MTB) when fitted? If not it's well clear. My frame is quite narrow at the rear.
If it is going to sit more inboard would be good to know before I get a mech I won't be able to use...!
