I have a road frame I'm building up for my wife. It will mostly be
used for riding on local roads, paved bike trail and tours. Her
preference is to have an upright handlebar (mtn bar). My question is
regarding components. Are there any issues with setting up a road
bike with all mtn components? Would the cassette fit on a 700c
wheel? Any brake issues using a road brake with mtn levers? Another
possibility is to buy a road triple groupset (this would be my
preference). My question here is if I can use a rapid fire or other
mtn shifting system with road components? Any advice appreciated.
