Hello everyone,

As i have a spare Sram Force group i want to build a winter road bike! I will buy a Gitane Team Usa (Reynolds 351) and i would like to know if it is possible to put the Force BB30 crank set on it! Any opinions?

People were doing that on english threaded frames to use Cannondale crankarms, but it's a ridiculous setup that increase the Q factor and the maintenance of the bike

Why don't you run it with GXP format?
