after geting hounded out of any q answered!:
Novice with questions requiring guidence! I want a road bike. the last bike with gears i rode regularly was about 5 years ago and was an ancient gary fisher mountain bike with pretty basic replacement parts on it so have no idea about squat basically.
There is a frame on here i am contemplating buying and the seller can provide with it the majority of a 7700 groupset (minus shifters).
What are the basic rules regarding compatability of parts (groups and wheelsets), good casette/chainring sizes to work with and i guess general do's and don'ts when building from scratch(ish)?
thanks
