So I got a frame that is the same as this:
I got it cheap and new, and intend to use it as a trail bike(not hardcore stuff) and my girlfriend just got me a DHX 5.0 for it since I'm a lard ass(that can bench press a bit of weight).
What derailleur do I need for the front? I have a blackspire bash guard and just want to run the middle and small rings. The diameter of the "seat tube" is 31.8mm. I'm however a little confused with the top-swing and bottom swing stuff.
I have worked on my own bikes forever now but haven't used a front derailleur in 6-7 years.
Thanks,
