Hello,
I'm building up a 1994 Francesco Moser Leader Ax and deep down the vintage Campagnolo groupset rabbit hole (and beginning to wish I'd gone the neo-retro route!)
I bought an 8 speed chorus groupset that I'm happy with and was going to use, but then saw a great deal on some vintage 9-Speed Ventos which I bought. So now I need to update to a 9 speed groupset.
In terms of the gearing us there anything I can keep from my 8-speed group? I'm sure the ergos will have to be changed but could I keep either of the derailers and are the cranks/chainrings compatible?
I'm happy to buy the right parts but just want to make sure I buy the right ones!
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Sam
