Subject: Frames and Groupsets Posted by: John M on December 12, 2003 at 16:05:35:

Message: Hello, I have some plans for a new ride and would like some opinions.I don't know if any of you have come accross this site before but it's pretty cool: http://www.velomech.ch/linkseite-rahmen.html Anyway the frame I am interested in is this one: http://www.velomech.ch/image/columbus-race-frame-thron-black-silver-lila-61cm.jpg And so first question is do you think Columbus thron is a good frameset for a guy 6'3'' 195lbs. And second my plan is to buy a Campy Chorus/Centaur Group from these guys http://www.gvhbikes.com/ which I found off of velonews classified. What I want to do eventually is to get an FSA compact crankset and I am wondering if the brazed on shift adapter will have enough room on it for adjustment. Also is there a carbon fork that will work with this frame and I assume it would have to be threaded? I understand that the frame will most likely need to be spread to handle the Campy 10 speed but thanks to this forum I have the experience doing that. But will this group set work well w/this frame and will the campy headset fit this frame with a carbon fork? or should I just get an older headset and steel fork that would 'match' this older frame. Thankyou in advance...
