I am a long time mt. biker, and new road rider. I am set with my bike, but I wanted to build a bike for my girlfriend that is an extreme beginner. Nowhere near getting her on dirt. Since I have a lot of mt bike parts laying around the garage, would a flat bar road bike made up of the following work:
road frame/fork
road wheels (upgrade for me on the way
)
road brakes
mt. brake levers
completely mountain drivetrain (the gearing would actually be better for her)
I'll do a search, but the wheels currently have a 10-spd shimano cassette. would a 9-spd mt. cassette fit on it?
