I just picked up a nice Douglas titanium frameset...
It came with a triple crank. I'm a road newb so I'll be fine with a triple, but if I wanted to run a double, would I have to do anything besides remove the small chainring? I still need to order shifters so that's not a problem yet.
The cranks are 170s and I'm about 5'11" with a 32" inseam. That *should* put me on 172.5s or 175s. Am I likely to notice or care? Should i bother trying to trade?
I think it's safe to assume that everything is 10spd compatible, as the crank is hollowtech2 with the external BB, but is there any reason the Ultegra derailleurs won't be compatible with 10spd if they are 9spd?
Finally, what spread should I go with for a cassette?
