Could you recommend a reliable crank set in black that will allow me to retain the 16 speed option on the mini velo?
I ordered the FSA Vero crankset from BikeIsland.com
It is a road compact crank in 53/39 that may require the front derailleur to be repositioned. This is the main reason why I have not installed the cable on my left Shimano brake shifter yet.
If I need to reposition the front derailleur, I might as well wait for the crankset to arrive, install it and then install the front derailleur cable.
