(part two of the Randonee thread)
If I pick up this frame, I will need to build it up.
The seller may include somemisc parts from his parts bin... unclear at this point.
I'd like to keep it practical as far as costs.
Can anyone suggest practically priced components for this sort of rig?
Sturdy wheelset ideas
Crank/drivetrain
Brakes (probably cantilevers?)
think I'd like to try Bar-end (barcons?)
Not sure what was Original Equipment on this year's model (REI does not seem to list the Randonee on their site anymore...if any one has a link to original equipment spec for Novara Randonee, that would be slick)
I know I can probably go to LBS and get guidance, but would love a starting point and do some of the work / acquisition myself
Tanks!
