Hi, all:
I recently bought the frame that I've been lusting after for years:
Merckx MX Leader. Its very nice (rear brake bridge too low, but
otherwise nice). I do race some, though, including some crits, and the
idea of racing the Merckx in Cat IV/V crits worries/sickens me. I have
a 1990 Cannondale Crit frame in the garage that I use as my fixie. I
would like to build it up w/ Campy Ergo (that's what I have on my
Leader). Its a 126mm frame, and I have a nice set of 7s Hyperglide
racing wheels for it. I'm thinking Xenon or Mirage levers & rear
derailleur and 8 of 9 Shimano rear cassette w/ a Shiftmate. I have two
questions: any reason to get the Mirage instead of Xenon? And is this
the simplest & cheapest solution to building an Ergo Equipped 126mm
bike?
Thanks in Advance,
Matt.
