I have had to strip a 2002 Campy Chorus 8-sp group from a broken frame and I am in the market for a carbon frame as a replacement. I am soliciting advice for the compatibility issues I will face.
I used downtube levers with my 8sp derailleurs, cassette and chainrings. Will I be able to find 8sp ergo levers or can I take them up a notch and do something about the rest of the drivetrain? I have 2 Campy 8-sp wheelsets, one clincher, one sew-ups. Actually one of the rear hubs is 9-sp Chrorus that I space with Wheels MFG spacers to use 8sp.
Because the Campy 53/39 crankset is square taper and all the available carbon frames on the market seem to be PF30, BB86 etc. it looks like I will need a new bottom bracket and compatible crankset.
Seatposts I have are 27.2 but it looks like most carbon frames use a larger diameter post. Also, I have a beautiful 3TTT Forgie stem. It looks like it will still fit the new tapered steerers but the other end of the stem will not accommodate the thicker bars.
