I am in the market, but have no idea what I'm looking at/for. Treat me gently.
The main thing is that it looks pretty sweet, which is what makes me go faster...
Couple of silly questions:
Why only 2 chainrings? Will I not need a further 3rd smaller chain set for the steepest part (14%)?
If the bike is 5 ish years old, how much life is left in the components? (From my limited knowledge they look quite a good spec, but how long are they expected to last/how much use have they had?)
