The other might go on a Diamondback carbon fiber frame. I have some 10-speed DA stuff, but only bar-end shifters, not brifters.
Or maybe I'll turn the Diamondback into a time trial bike. I'll make it up as I go along.
That's awesome. I love the look of that particular year of DA brifters. Of course I like DA period over anything else including campy.
Are you still insisting on keeping your Ironman stock?
