I am new to road biking and just got my first bike a few months ago.
1990 Cannondale Criterium 3.0 7speed w/downtube shifters.
I purchased SHIMANO SORA STI SHIFTERS 8X3 ST3300 to do a conversion.
I know someone that will do it for cheap if i provide the parts. He saw the shifers and confirmed he could do it.
So what parts do i need?
1) Shifers (check!)
2) Downtube Cable stops (Check!)
3?
4?
....
I dont understand how these things work so im not sure the cables i need. I assume i need another cable to go from the downtube stops to the shifters... do i need another cable from shifters to the V-brakes also? Its confusing sorry. I hope to know by 5pm cuz i got a LBS i can hit up after work (gonna ride my bike there since i commuted to work).
Please be specific in the part names so that i dont look like an idiot going into the LBS
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Now that i think about it... i can ask these questions at the LBS but im kinda excited and want to go in there with some sort of knowledge.
