I have a new carbon CX frame and want to build up an economical 'Rindo Masher' Since it's been at least 20yr since my last CX (Alan Aluminum , Erickson Ferro) I'd like some guidance of what works best these days - especially for the Japanese terrain and circuits.
Brakes? My frameset is 100% Discbrake - so I'm considering the Avid Lyra
Groupset? No clue. In the past, I'd typically run a clapped out Campy NR with 1 chainring only. And then use either Huret or Campy longcage derailer w/Regina 14-30 or 14-32 cassette.
Wheels? Again. Where to start? Tubular Tufos? Or should I go tubeless clinchers?
Cockpit is no problem - and I'll probably go for the Microshift brifters as they are cheap, short reach and dual lever. (The shifting on the primary brake is bothersome to me especially on a cross type bike)
Anything else? Ludwig? Tom? This is not my 'dream bike' - just want something durable and sensible to pound out some mud and rindo trails with.
