Building a Rossman is, of course, a custom event. We will work with you to create the perfect bike for your needs. The Rossman Clubman is a very versatile bike. It can be a road bike, touring bike, a city commuter or any combination. The bike can be as expensive as you like. There is however a minimum quality level we work with. For example, there is no sense trying to save money on key components like the crank or handlebars and stem, but you can save money on wear parts like the bottom bracket and hubs, with the thought of replacing later with better quality.
We kept that in mind when we created the above specification sheet.
For those that want integrated shift/brake levers, we recommend Campagnolo ErgoPower. It is the best value we have found. Campy shifters are completely rebuildable whereas Shimano STI is not serviceable at all! We have a sample of a Shimano shifter, quite new but out of warranty that had a small broken washer. The customer had to buy an entirely new shifter because parts are not available. We still regularly rebuild 10 year old Campy shifters into new condition. There are only 2 or 3 parts that we usually replace and they are cheap!
