Depending on where you live, definitely. When I upgraded the Ritchey from 8 speed 12-25 to 10 speed 12-30, it was just like having the same cassette, but now with two lower gears allowing me to climb at higher cadence, which made riding it more fun again.

So then I built up the Litespeed with the old 8 speed bits from the Ritchey and ride it on the same routes with that old 12-25. I must be stupid or something.

No. You've simply left yourself a step in the upgrade chain.

Parts ordered. Wow chains are still pricey! The cassette was cheaper than the chain.

Although, back before pot was legal in CA, people wanting to grow their own in places like Berkeley would go in and ask what you need to grow tomatoes indoors. Under no circumstances did you ask what you needed to grow pot, because the nursery owners were terrified of narcs.

My brother-in-law got kicked out of a plant nursery in Berkeley for asking what he needed to grow medicinal tomatoes.

I think he's still alive but I haven't seen him in a few years. He is a little older than I am so about 69 now?

My BIL died young, but it wasn't the pot, it was the Multiple Myeloma. We abided by his last wishes and had his ashes incorporated into a Reef Ball, which was placed off the coast of Florida. We said, "Ted always loved his reefer".

But I'm having so much FUN with it as it is! Those first generation Dura Ace STIs, with the 7400 series derailleurs and the first generation dual pivot brakes ROCK!!!

This bike is so hard to take pictures of. New crank is pretty nice.

Didn't have time to swap handlebars yet, hopefully tomorrow.
