Just picked up that you had started another thread with the same title where you listed your previous components.
You mention you're at 9 speed now so why not stick with that? Plenty of wide range cassettes from both Shimano & SRAM. It sounds like you plan to change the crankset; consider Riv's standard Sugino triple. You may not have to change derailers either unless you want to or unless you change shifters. I've always found that a call to Rivendell can sort out a lot of questions. They'll steer you in the direction of a component group that will work well together and install easily on your Atlantis. dougP On Apr 3, 1:50 pm, dougP <dougpn...@cox.net> wrote: > "Can I get a few of you to help me?
