I know parts of this topic have been covered here, but I was hoping to have the answers all in one place.
Here are the parts of the drivetrain I currently own:
- Ultegra flighdeck 9spd shifters (2004/2005 era)
- Truvativ triple crank
- Ultegra rear derailleur
- 105 front derailleur
- Sram 9spd cassette (new)
- Shimano (Ultegra?) chain (new)
One of my new-bike options is to get a new frame/fork, add my existing parts (I have new, hand-built wheels), and swap out over time parts over time.
As I replace the drivetrain, I want to end up with mainly Ultegra (if I can find a deal on Dura-Ace, great), I want a compact crank, and I would like 10 speed (new stuff is 10spd anyway); though I'm not entirely sure about adding parts and having them be compatible with my existing, and then future set-ups (is this making sense?).
First thing I would like to change is my crank. Can I jump to a 10-speed Ultegra compact, or FSA compact, and keep the rest? What parts will be incompatible once I start changing.
Again, thanks very much!
