My brother gave me his old road bike. It is old, ~30yrs, but at the time, it was quite high end.
(Shimano600 groupo). My road bike is much newer (index shifting) but with with very low end
components. I would like to use my bro's bike (it fits better), but I am afraid I have been spoiled
for too many years of SIS and really do not wish to return to the world of FRICTION.
I was thinking about combining the two bikes into something suitable, but am not sure about a few
things. Mostly, would it work to put the shifters from my bike (SIS) onto my bro's bike (FRICTION),
or do I need to transplant more , such as deraileurs, and cogs? I really don't know that much about
the workings of SIS.
Another possibility is to transplant the whole groupo to my bro's bike, but with the difference in
component quality......
Any ideas would be VERY much apreciated.
