I've got a bare (hybrid) frame & fork that I'd like to build up again, mostly to get the experience
of doing it, and partly to have a bike afterwards. A store near[1] here is selling a complete Acera
3x7 groupset including hubs, just ex headset, for 150 euros. Is relatively cheap, easy, and almost
guaranteed to be at least compatible with itself. Are there any particular bits of Acera
drivetrain/shifter/brakes/hubs that are bad enough that doing that is a bad idea? Alternatively, are
there any shops anywhere in the world that do low-end equipment, possibly with better prices? Most
online shops seem mainly interested in selling me 105/Deore or better gear, which is really more
than the pricepoint I want to pay.
Jasper (Also, for reasons of availability of spares, tools, and parts themselves, have decided
against Campagnolo.)
[1] Well, it's in the country, anyway.
