Vintage MTB frame up build tips? Gravel/road
The mud on the C and O was a bit too much for my Raleigh Alyeska road tourer last year. I have this frame on the way soon. I like drops, but don't want to shell out a lot of money to make a road setup work with a mountain bike fd (been there, tried that with my 26" folder. Fast and light is the overall goal. Probably fenders if I can fit them. Road/trail friendly tires. Seat bag and frame bag. Other ideas?
