I'm wondering if i should replace the Avocet crankset with Sugina RT I have. And while I love Campy components on my road bikes, the shifters seem kind of out of place. I have spare Suntour shifters I could replace them with. I've also got a nice set of Shimano M700 high flange hubs. Would they pair well with the Weinmann rims? I've heard good things about Huret derailleurs so I'm interested in sticking with those. Thoughts?
Why do you need to replace any of the components?
