anyone else think the handlebars need to be rotated a little upward? this is my first "road bike" so i'm not exactly sure how far i'm supposed to be leaving forward.

Yeah, that's a bit extreme. The bottom of the drops should be level.

Or vintage steel? I'd been searching craigslist for a multi speed bike for casual riding and found a local guy just a few miles away selling three vintage bikes. My brother and I ended up buying them on Saturday. While they are in rough shape, they have potential.

Those of you running 1xX setups, were you able to actually buy a rear shifter without its mate?

on a similar note, if I want a 1x9 700c bike, is it easier to convert a single or a triple? I got a single from Performance Bike (house brand) but it's going back. Salsa sells a Casseroll single for $800. The Triple version is $1700 (eek). Same frame, so I was thinking of buying the single, a new rear wheel with stack, derailleur and shifter and of course the chain.

any thoughts on internally geared hubs? I've seen very cheap stuff with coaster brakes for $100 (wheel/hub/shifter) and pricey stuff like Shimano's Alfine hub. I like the idea of the internal gearing as the chain is simpler to deal with. |

Why would you ever do such a thing?
I started out with indexed thumb shifters on MTBs and I always thought triggers were an incremental improvement, but integrated brake/shift levers on road bikes are crucial to getting maximum benefit from a close ratio rear cassette. |

I personally don't like IGH. It felt like it was literally sapping my energy. Like having the chain tension too tight on a singlespeed. |
