Donor parts on whippet frame

Posts: 73
Just wondering - if I get myself an on-one whippet frame, how easy will it be to stick the parts from a 2012 cube acid on it? Id be putting a higher spec fork on it immediately, but upgrading any other parts would be gradual initially. Any glaring compatibility issues?

Bottom bracket is a BB92 on the Whippet. Cables probably need changing, hoses might be too long/short. Fork steerer too.0

Well, Id be getting a better fork straight away to do the lightweight frame justice. I understand the bit about the cables and hoses but its the bb thing - would the crankset from the acid be incompatible?0 -
Yes, will not fit, would need a BB92 chainset and BB.0

I don't think the front mech would fit either, the whippet uses a direct mount mech.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350
