After an age trawling the interwebs, looking at going road disc/upgrading my Arkose frameset, I've landed on this frameset reduced on Triton
http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/frames-forks-c6/road-touring-frames-c47/charge-plug-5-ti-frameset-2016-p16385
Now I need to decide how to build it up - I'm hoping to use as Much as I already have, but I know that I'll need to sort some extras too.
Main hang up is what groupset to stick on it, im currently running 105 10 speed compact on my ritchey road logic and the Arkose has TRP Hylex with 1x10 raceface, no brand, sram GX mix from a sram bar end shifter.
As far as I can tell options are:
Use 105 bits and get mechanic disc calipers - cheapish but I've only ever ridden with hydraulics, will I be super disappointed?
Get Shimano road hydraulics - expensive...but the proper job
Use TRP Hylex with 105 bits but get DI2 mechs and sprinter buttons adapter kit - expensive, not used DI2 before, can't shit from drops, but somethings different.
Any thoughts?
Planned wheelset is Kinesis Crosslight, budget but good reviews.
Apart from that bits I already have.
Fabric scoop saddle
Deda Rsx02 seatpost (assuming frame is 27.2mm)
Deda zero stem
Race face cadence bars/Ritchey WCS logic bars
Input welcome. As with all projects trying to merge two bikes, might have to compromise, and I need a pub bike worth of bits left over at the end...
