I am trying to build a cyclocross/touring bike from parts i win on ebay. I had a brand new poprod but being in NYC that did not last very long so while I keep my trek road under heavy locks and indoors I need some help.
I won this Project 5 frame, bontrager 700 select wheels, cantliver brakes, shimano ultegra 600 crank and now a shimano 8 speed cassette. I need to know what kind of front and rear derailers. Any advice on a budget I should be checking for?
I also have no idea about the stem, levers/shifters to work with my other equipment. All help very appreciated for the newbie builder.
Just want it to be good enuf for training and commuting and if I want to go on tour with it may not be so bad.
