I hope to do some local trips this spring with mine...
I used claris shifters and front derailleur. I used an acera rear derailleur since it has a larger tooth capacity. I have wtb wheels with deore hubs and a 11-34 rear cassette. The crank is still original and I'll change it when it wears or if I find I need lower gears. This is my slow bike anyways. I still have to trial ride it with a load. Still to cold here in Wisconsin
