Dear riders, I would like your precious advice on the road bike components and frame. I am in mtb for 4 years now, and would like to give a go with road bike as well.
I have good experience with fm936 frame and build. I have also good experience with ali components; bars, stems, seatposts...
1. So my first question is, what carbonda road frame would you suggest for a starter roadie?
2. What is the best option for wheels and groupset?
a)Since I have some experience with wheel building so wouldn't be a problem to order hubs/rims and spokes and make my own wheels. My safe bet for my mtb bikes was dt rims (471,391...) and ali hubs (ztto, goldix). Are dt aluminum rim ok for a starter or is it better to go carbon straigh away?
b)I noticed that brake levers/shifters from shimano/sram are SOOOO expensive, so I am thinking about getting ltwoo levers/shifters. Is that good choice?
I will be having more questions, hopefully will get an answer.
