So I've had a look through this thread. I've just bought a pre cursa frame and have a couple of questions about it. Those of you who are riding it on the road with a brake. Have your forks got 45mm rake? How does that affect handling? Is it ok? Thinking of getting Columbus Tusk Air forks to go with it. Any idea if these'd be appropriate? It'll mostly get used on the road and occasionally taken to Herne Hill.
I'll be stripping my old bike and sticking as many bits as possible from it onto the precursa, I've got stronglight 2000s at the mo', with the 107mm stronglight BB. Are these definitely not going to work or is it a case of sticking a spacer on the driveside or something? What cranks are people using, are there any others found to not work? Anyone got on-one external BB cranks for sale, if the stronglights definitely won't work?
Cheers!
