At least that's what I'm going to do. I know I'm going to look funky in my downtube 14 speed steely, but honestly, I don't give a flyin' F.
ive considered that. ive also thought about asking my dad to use his 70's motobecane too. haha.
but if im going to be buying a cross bike anyways...... im just trying to see if i can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. sounds like i should be able to.
as for gearing, my road bikes top gear is 50x11 and the cross bike would be 49x11, so ill be fine.
