Dirt Disciple
i am currently planning a build which would see me using a 2015 frame and fork (steel, retro-ish) but which would incorporate a lot of retro elements.
particularly, i am wondering about the drivetrain. would it be possible to use 1990-94 era cranks and hubs/cassette? or have things like spacing changed.
ideally, i am looking to pair xt hubs with a tight cassette, an old NOS 1991 dura-ace derailleur and dx thumbshifters set to friction (i have eccentric tastes).
the frame is a 2015 salsa, however, and i do like some modern stuff, so all thuis stuff would live alongside modern disk brakes and a fox fork.
what issues do i have here, and should i just consider modern parts?
