Old bike, new bits questions
I know these questions have been asked but I wasn't having a lot of luck with the search.
So, the bike is 7 speed shimano 600/ultegra. I would like to go to a ten speed drive train.
Can I use my derailers with the narrower chain? Will the STIs shift the old derailers? Can I use my biopace chain rings with the narrower 10 speed chain? Will the chain line be off/will I need a different BB? If I need a wider bottom bracket, will I need a newer corresponding crank set? As you can see, I know just enough to be a danger to myself. This is just something I'd like to do before the old frame gets retired.
