Hello to all. Looking forward to participating in the Forum. I'm very interested in learning all I can about installing and maintaining Ultergra components as I'm building my first frame out and although I've got some great books and
have found some great web sites (Park Tool's for instance) some things are not covered. I've also got some older frames, wheels, and parts I'd be interested in trading or selling. My current ride is a 59cm White Lemond Zurich with Ultegra components. I alternate between the Rolf comp wheels it came with and a set of Rolf Pros that I bought used from a friend along with a Trek Y-Foil fame (I plan to build this bike for time trials). I've only had steel frames so far but I just love the ride of the Lemond. The frame I'm building out now is a blue Zurich. My plan is to have a sister setup so I can evaluate new equipment against the old at my leisure and when mechanical issues come up I will have the identicle item available for comparison. It will also be nice to be able wash the bikes when It's convienant, but always have a clean lubed ride available. If there's somebody who has worked on Shimano gear regularly and wouldn't mind anwering questions, I'd be greatful.
