In October while IAB runs his first marathon, I'm signed up as a bike volunteer.
I figured riding my old cromo rockhopper would be a better alternative to my road bike (more upright, don't care if anything happens to it in the city etc).
It's set up with Alivio 7sp cassette in the back and a an lx crankset (triple) on the front. How big can I/should I go in the front so that I can keep up with the roadies?
It's already got slicks on it and I have the rigid fork it came with and might put it back on.
Maybe I'll make this a commuter bike (for the 1 day a year I Ride the 30 miles to work).
What d'ya think?
