28-39-50 rings up front with an 11-32 cassette out back. I love having the range of a modern gravel groupset with the added fun of two derailleurs to play with.
How’d the geo work out on that? I’m debating doing a drop bar conversion on a 90s mtb. is the riser stem pretty necessary? also what levers are those? thanks!

Nice lookin drops! So did you get a modern wheelset or a 9 gear freewheel that screwed in? I’m considering upping da gears on a 1991 trek 830 antelope that I got recently

I’m working on a build that will most likely be 44/32/22 since I have that crank collecting dust but I’m back and forth. Thinking about going mullet in the 650b front and 26″ back sense just to have a more useable front wheel (across multiple bikes) but I keep going back and forth on whether to run 650b or just 2×26″.
There’s a part of me that’s tempted to go drop bar as I have a Campy Chorus 10 group not in use but I might go flatbar. I’m at the indecisive phase of a frame I pulled out of the trash.

Is that 26 back, 27.5 up front? I’ve been thinking about mulleting my 27.5 with a 29et up front for years but it just never works its way to the top of my to do list
