Thanks I am talking to a guy at Rivendell. I think I need a triple wheel in the front. I want a bit better quality and lighter= and do not necessarily have to replace the 105 derailiers as they work well. I was looking at the Shimano Ultegra triple crank in the front, and getting a new rear cassette for a nine speed, new BB and going from there. The derailers could be replaced later if need be- they have always worked well . I will look at the Sugino triple also and compare weight and cost to Shimano.
