Hi,
My first post to this newsgroup, so please show some mercy. I am looking at purchasing an old
Concorde road bike with Columbus tubes for the ride to work and back. Bike has a Shimano 600
groupset, with downtube shifters and a 7-speed rear sprocket. What is involved in converting the
bike to STi shifters? Is it just a matter of mounting the shifters and longer gear cables? Will i
need to weld cable retaining lugs to the frame? Also, any compatability issues with this groupset? I
want to get some idea of the amount of work and possible cost involved before I purchase the bike.
Any replies greatly appreciated.
