I think I'm going to get that same wheelset that you got, it looks like that will be the least problematic given my lack of knowledge on the subject. As far as the crankset, I was wondering if I was going to have to replace that or not. Did you get that through Harris Cyclery?
I just may PM you once the project gets under way..
Thanks everyone for the replies!
i actually got my crankset from bens cyclery (
http://benscycle.com/) - i got the sugino rd's on the recommendation of a friend, and again, i've been very happy with them. i didn't even need to swap out the chainring, as i'm running my gearing at 48X16.
keep me updated on the project and let me know if there's anything i might be able to help with - have fun!
