Howdy,
Was a keen biker in my 'youth' but after traveling, Uni and a spell in London my old bikes have languished in the garage. 20 years on I've dusted down the old Zaskar (1994) and am thinking of the rebuild.
Shimano kit has farther moved on and I'm not 100% sure what's compatible; will IG and HG work together? If running an 8 speed cassette do I need a long or short cage rear mech?
I'm consdering reviving a pair of Judy TTs which appear to be a little soggy. Can new elastomers be sourced?
Indeed, is building a bike up using retro and new parts considered blasphemy round here or is that just plain good since?
Apppriciate any answers,
Cheers,
Jules
