Ok I have accepted an offer to go road riding with my cousin, I don't have a road bike. Do I:
A) prove how hench I am by keeping up with him and his roadie mates on one of the current bikes : polo/mtb/cx
B) build up an old 70's Carlton I have (unfortunately will need either 27 inch wheels or massive drop brakes)
C) build up other frame I have that I think was a touring bike as it has canti mounts
D) try to fix up my old alu trek 1000, that was making scary creaking noises last time I rode it, which was approx 10 years ago.
E) buy a new bike.
If B or C what is the best derailer for frames with a build in hanger, does it matter? Anywhere a good resource for answering these questions?
