Okay, I LOVE this idea! Definitely doing this!
I checked the chain today, it's good. Wheel hubs look flat. Going to clean it up (looks like it's been used for CX) and give it a test ride.
Might replace cables if shifting seems funky, otherwise I'll wait til next tune up.
A couple folks recommended replacing the front forks so I can fit matching brakes on the front and fit larger tires. This might be cool if I get more into gravel or rougher trail riding, but I'll probably hold off for now as it'll be mostly road and only light, well manicured wimpy trails.
I may keep an eye out for a dura ace front group to match the rear.....the FSA is the only thing I'm a little hesitant about. Any time I've strayed from Shimano in the past I've regretted it (although have never had Campy).
Thanks again fellas! Great advice! Gunna clean out the dirt and gunk and go for a ride now!
