I have decided on a Mallorca frame from FRAMED, I can get one at a decent price right now, I am going to go with disk brakes (shimano?) 700c tires , how big can I go? and then there are the gears and chank set. I would like a decent crankset with 2 sprockets and if I get a 11 speed rear I would still have 21 gears without having so many changes to make. Am I on the right path?
