So bought a frame like this from forum (its off to powder on arrival). its an 1986 Dawes Galaxy.
I'd like to eventually get into audax and some touring. I'm struggling with build direction though.
I currently have a nexus 7 spd cannondale, with mudguards and 38c's takes me to work, a 7 spd caad 2 (rsx) and a ten speed chorus carbon/columbus starship.
I'd like to reduce the bikes to fund the build, I'm thinking the dawes as a work bike maybe + do touring? I'd like sti's but worried about issues with frame clearance. Or should I stick to an old type triple bar end shifters etc.
would the carbon be suitable for audax?
