Morning,

Not sure the best place to post this and I'm sure the answer lies in many other chats here but I can't find it so your help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking about upgrading one of my 80s steel road bikes with a 5+2 speed campagnolo c-record friction downtube shifting setup to a more modern (probably second hand) ergo' system (8/9/10 speed depending on what is available). I realise this will require coldsetting to 130mm, new wheels, new block, new chain, new rear derailleur and new cables and levers. However can someone tell me if I'll need a new front derailleur and new crankset? As I said it is currently a friction set up with a c-record crankset on a square taper BB.

Thanks in advance!
