Here's the plan: build up a road frame with straight handle bars (aka "fitness bike") which both I
could use as a fast city bike and my girlfriend could use to accompany me on my weekend rides with
my race bike. I am looking for a sloping frame in size M (55cm approx.), but am aware that the
handle bars elevation will be pretty awkward if I use the bike (I am 6ft 2", my girlfriend 5ft 6")
I definitely would prefer to put all Campy on the bike, but is there any way to use Campy with
straight handle bars, i.e. without the campy ergopower shifters?
I still have a 10spd Chorus rear derailer which I could use and want to use my 9/10 spd Chorus
wheelset as well (want to get Ksyrium SSC or Cosmic Carbon for my Klein Quantum)
Can I operate the 10spd Chorus derailer (using it for 9spd) with 9spd Sram Grip Shift? 9spd Shimano
MTB levers (XT, LX, Deore..) with the 9spd Shimano Road components offered specifically for
roadbikes with straight handle bars?
If I put a normal MTB levers on the bike, which problems would I have to expect using race brakes
with brake levers made for V-brakes?
Is there any way to build up a 10spd bike with straight handle bars?
