Well, it's done. Some inexpensive (slightly blemished) Velocity A23s, a Gary bar, and a few other components in addition to the ones above. I tried to remove as many logos as possible and I'm pretty...

Nice! 1x9? I love the retroshift levers. I was looking to do something similar, but wanted a clutched derailleur to avoid a chain-keeper so I decided on a Sram shift lever.

I did run 32s most of the time on my old Cross Check, but I like the ability to run something bigger if I'm planning for the possibility of sand. It's pretty much this reason that I've chosen the...

What crankset are you using? Is it a double? If so, is your single ring on the inside or outside and how is the alignment across the cassette?

Thanks for the warning. Everyone's been very helpful so far. I realize that I'll be putting my bike in an odd place, especially on the road.

Retroshift does not support attaching SRAM shifters yet, but they say it's on their to-do list. I like the Burd derailleurs, but they're currently out of stock. Plus, if I can I'd like to run a...

Yeah. That's why I think I'll go with the double crankset. I can always put the original chainrings back on, buy a front derailleur, and figure out some sort of shifting solution later.

Maybe I am just following the latest trend in wanting to build a 1x. I liked the idea and I'm not ashamed to say it's partially just because it sounds nifty. I don't think I'm losing much range if I...

Advice on steel 1x10 from scratch

Last week, my 2006 Cross Check was stolen. It was a 2x9 with 105 derailleurs and STI, Ritchey Pro cranks, XT hubs and Salsa Delgado rims. It was my first real bike. I loved it and it served me well....
