thank you Relyt.. i'm doing this to be cost effective, not out of any special attachment to my old trek. i'm in Portland OR so theres plenty of our LBS with extra parts laying around. anyone know how much it might be to get a wheel relaced with a new(er) hub? and also, someone posted more cost effective with 8 speed.. is that because the parts are cheaper because they are older? from what i understand, the spacing is 130mm either way, 8, 9, or 10 speed, so clearance isn't an issue.
oppinions: is this a silly project on this old of a bike? i dont have the money to go get a fancy-schmancy new bike, hence the retro steal frame. however, when i pass people on their $1500 frame with my $200 old steel lugged bike, there is a certain feeling of accomplishment
