Is Racing On My CAAD 2 A Risky Thing To Do?
I'm currently building a racing bike, and theonly frame I have to ues is a CAAD 2 (1986), in very good condition, road about 10 miles before put into storage then sold to me.
Going to use mostly Dura-Ace 7400 (I'm sure many of you know, I've been talking about it for a year), stiil deciding between the 7700 RD or the 7400 RD that CAN be modified to go to 9 speed ( I have a 9 speed DA cassette I REALLY want to use since it's been laying around since I bought it), using bar-ends with DT-FD lever.
Should be fun, but a frame falling apart in a race doesn't sound fun at all. I know the older CAAD's have problems, so what do you guys think?
