mix-y match-y merckx-y?
Hi good people,
I have a Merckx CX criterium frame from 1987. I've built it up over the years with a mix of stuff. My main issue is that I'm not in love with the components. Gears don't play nicely all the time, will slip gears -- especially when I crank/step on it. Blah. It's friction on the downtube. Also:
It has an italian BB.
I have an older Campy GS group on the bike.
I also have a set of Xero-Lites with the Shimano freehub.
On the freehub is a Sram 8 speed cassette.
Chain is a KTM.
So, there it is. Anyone have any suggestions for cleaning things up a bit? Maybe starting on the less-expensive side?
Thank you.
