Hi there,
Relatively new to road bikes. I got an Argon 18 Mercury RPT off of eBay but for my needs the bars and gearings are too aggressive.
Currently it is 2x9 I think, maybe 2x10. I want to change to a 3x set.
Also, its got Tri bars and Dura-Ace end shifters and I want to change it to traditional road handlebars and shifters.
Can anyone suggest a good route to go? I have seen a complete Shimano Tiagra 3x9 bar and STI levers for a reasonable price on eBay brand new. Could I use these on my 2x9 until I upgrade that part?
Thanks
Paul
