I'm not going to buy super expensive stuff okay. I just need to know what will make this bike go without messing it up...that's all. A simple "no you can't use road cranks on a track bike because...etc..etc..etc" would have been fine. Jesus!
Calm down lady. No one is telling you to spend bling bucks on the bike, just suggesting that you should take your time and pick your parts carefully. We've all been where you are now and have learned from experience and it tells us that you will sooner or later want to up grade if you get cheaper parts so why waste the money now. And no one is telling you to get campy record or sugino gigas, just that you should get cheap bits. A 75 is a nice in between so are the miche gruppo. We're all excited for you that you have this bike and also want to see you build it up but just wanted to give you some suggestions since we get this a lot from 'newb' and we don't want to see you post a month from now asking what new parts you should upgrade to.
