They're on a cyclo-cross frame, built up for a bit of both.
I think I've managed to set them up to give a nice on-the-hoods position for road cruising and in-the-bends for control off-road/ winter riding.
I'll find out if I ever manage to finish putting the bike together. I figured putting a MTB groupset on a cyclocross frame would have its problems. I just did'nt forsee them all.
Problems left (I hope):-
I) Frame came with threaded cable stops on the down tube but no barrel adjusters. Adjusters now on order.
II) Front mech is of the chunky top swing type, so no clearance for mudguards. Conventional front mech on order.
Bloody geared bikes ;)
