why people say Frankenbike?
for an example
you use a XTR shifter and rear deraillures.
but with a deore front deraillure.
why does people call it franken bike?
people just buy to their needs.
a good shifter and rear deraillure make shifting will
while a front deraillure don't make much difference even in weight
another example is myself
using a suntour fork with XT shifter, FD, RD and BB5 brakes
suntour fork is pretty good enough for me.
it works but a little heavy. thought of getting a lighter one before, but this one just work
XT drivetrain give me smoother shifting than deore
and BB5 is also strong enough as i'm very light
i just don't understand why people call these franken bikes
maybe it is to people who call them
but not all parts need to be the same grade (eg: fox fork with XTR)
so, why is it so important to use parts of the same grade?
why cant get a lower end fork with a high end drivetrain?
do check my profile for another question on my bike spec
