Picking the right parts was not an easy task. Some parts had to be returned, some were kept. The rear derailleur has a clutch, yes that right. It is a mine field when it comes to bike parts. It will be 11 speed with gravel road capability. I could have gone to electric shift. No thanks for now. Chain management is next, if I can only get to it.
Good news for me is riding is now faster after the cold dense air is over. I was beginning to think I was getting old. Not yet.
Oh, the last picture is what FAILURE LOOKS LIKE! That is the remains of the old, new body that bombed.
