Just scored a deal on a used Surly Cross Check frame; want to make a budget bad weather/cross/fire
road bike out of it. Had a couple of questions:
I was thinking of going with shimano bar end shifters (I'm a Campy guy but they don't have much that
works for this application), normal road cranks, and XT or LX derailleurs to get access to wider
gear ratios. Will the Dura-Ace H-bar shifters work with an XT or LX (front & rear)?
An alternative might be a cheaper Campy drivetrain and with 36/48 chainrings on a mountain crank.
Anyone have any opinions as to which way flies best?
Avid Shorty's a good canti to use with road levers?
Thanks in advance! TC
