I have a '93 Litespeed Obed which I use as a gravel road bike now. I'm thinking about using it as my back up bike in the pits in case I need it.
I'll need to swap out my shock for a rigid fork, slap on some skinnier tires and lose the ergons with bar ends. but is there anything else I should consider doing?
One thing I noticed is the obvious frame geometry difference between the cross and hard tail bike and how much higher my seat post sits on the litespeed. should I drop the seat a bit during races? having a 30in inseam makes it challenging throwing my leg up over the saddle.
