(Stop reading this now if I am wrong and send me a correction) If this is so, is there any reason I can't scavange my ten- speed for parts and put them on an old frame? Does anyone know of good written information on how to do this? Please don't flame me if you think these are silly questions. Remember, we all started with training wheels!
