Latest change- the Roadlite aluminum DOES take a cargo rack. So the Roadlite 7.0 is only 20.3 pounds vs 27.11 for the commuter. A cargo rack adds 19 oz. It'll be way faster with Ultegra...

2 more days of research. I'm now thinking a Canyon roadlite 6 or 7. Difference is 105 vs Ultegra componets for a few hundred more euro. And the darker grey looks cooler on the 7. I'd go...

Thats pretty cool but I can’t do a single speed. I’m too picky and like to spin the same cadence.

I think they were like $200 each back in the day. I scooped that one off a nashbar clearance probably 20 years ago for something like $30. Should have bought more than one set!

I have a '93 stumpjumper. The right side 7 speed LX rapid-fire shifter is giving out- the thumb lever won't engage unless I push upwards on it, then it catches and changes a gear or two. The lever...
