Hi there. I usually do CrossCountry in my Mtb and a lot of urban cycling (i like alleycats), and I am building my first CX bike (moderate budget) and I have some questions about the groupset...<br />
I am buying the parts from diferent sellers (ebay), for now I have:<br />
- Gallardo Kong frame (bamboo frame)<br />
- Avid BB7 disk brakes.<br />
- Picasia carbon fork (good price)<br />
- shimano 105 FD 5700<br />
- shimano 105 shifters 5700 (2x10)<br />
<br />
I am going to buy:<br />
- shimano slx or xt 9 speed rear derailleur<br />
- shimano 12-30…

- shimano slx or xt 9 speed rear derailleur<br />
- shimano 12-30 (road) or 11-32 (mtb) cassette<br />
<br />
So.... I do not know what crankset to buy.... Maybe a shimano 105 50-34... Or should I go with a more specific cranckset for CX?<br />
Should I buy a rear derailleur like a 105 or tiagra short cage and a 11-28 cassette?<br />
<br />
I am totally new to CX and here in Bogotá it is a new sport... Very rare....<br />
<br />
Thanks for your opinion!
