Retro Newbie
Hi, I was after some advice on upgrading a 1980's 10-speed Reynolds to a modern 18-speed keeping the original friction shifters. Basically I have been offered a really nice 1980's Dawes Ultra with a Reynolds frame for nothing with a damaged rear wheel, I have a 700x28 9-speed hub wheelset which I would like to fit. I understand I may need to cold set/widen the rear triangle and adjust the brake callipers but I'm concerned about the shifting and chain alignment, will it work in principal and do I need to replace any other parts?
