So I really want a road bike, but some things have come up (need a laptop for school, AC broke, etc), so that's not going to happen anytime in the very-near future. So I was wondering if building a SS with the idea of adding a cassette, derailleurs, and shifters later on is viable...
Couple questions about it...
1. Anyone have experience with the Sette Ximo frame? I've read around here that Sette makes quality stuff, but couldn't find anything on this item in particular...

2a. Will I kill myself using a standard road crankset, or should I find smaller rings?
2b. If it's viable, what's a good gear ratio (rear cog) for a SS using, e.g. a 105 crankset?
(worst case I can go to the collective down the road for SS parts, key thing is the frame - I want to have at least an entry-level road bike when all's said and done)
