cheers stagger, I can put a grand of it through 'cycle-to-work' too, so that'll save me another £350 ...
Hadn't really though about the gear ratios - they confuse me a bit.
My current bike's a triple - though to be honest very rarely use the granny ring - so I'm hoping the 28 gives me enough options for the long, steep climbs.
So what would the implications be of putting a 52 on this set-up then? In terms of range / duplications of ratios?
