I’ve joined the gang!! 790, I’m torn with what I should do!
Picked this up for $200aud the other day, and the guy I bought it off had put a lot of time and effort into cleaning her up really nice. It’s made it hard to want to change anything about it.
I want the changes I make to be fairly minimal, I’m thinking of keeping the original cranks, but going 1x and putting a deore rear mech (rd m760) with a Roadlink for additional teeth. This’d likely mean a new rear wheel for a 9spd cassette.
The main thing I’m stuck between is whether I want flat bars or drops. Flat bars would mean I lean more into the commuter side of things, probably add a front basket, whereas drops would mean I’d lean into the gravel side of things, and would probably skip a basket etc.
What are your thoughts everyone? Any stories of being in the same boat? What did you do!! Sorry for the bad pic!
