Is this bad?
I have a 2003 trek 5500, dura ace 7700, but the chrome is starting to flake off the chromme plated bits and the shifting is getting terribly sloppy, im able to score sram red for the bike for about $1200 but only if i do it by 10 tonight. Would it be a total travesty to break up the lance frame/gruppo combo or should i just not get nostalgic because i race and 9 speed DA parts are few and far between these days?
