Looking for advice please.
Not usually one to post let alone in the dirty road section. Have an idea that I want a retro cross bike. Have no idea who or what was around when. Learnt most of my retro mtb stuff on here anyway. Came late to cycling but have fallen quite hard in the reto camp. And no I don't mean Edwards 'camp'.
So here’s my brief. Looking for frame in steel. (Is there anyother other frame material worth making a frame out of?) Have a set of wheels already that are loverly. Ultegra with Mavic ceramic rims. 126mm rear hub so that already sets the choice I suspect. So looking to probably put a 8/9sp Shimano drive train, even though probably not catalogue correct spec sorry.
Looking for initial thoughts on frames/riders/info that I can search for to develop yet another 'I want one of those' needs in my life. Not 100% yet but offers or links to what you’ve seen/have for sale would be considered.
thanks
