Also joined the TA club about 6 months ago. Put a triple (52-44-34 or in that neighborhood) on my 65cm Gazelle CM rando ride. It's a big heavy bike and I'm pretty tall too. Some folks warned me that the flex and FD rubbing would not suit my riding style, which mostly consists of going full bore until I collapse road side. But, so far, I'm very pleased. It doesn't seem to give more than other cranks, and shifts are pretty smooth with a Campy NR FD and friction bar-cons. I have used it for maybe 600 miles, including the notorious Chilly Hilly ride on Bainbridge Island.
prettyshady: that looks like a wicked steep finale on Le Mont d'Or. Is that the one in Jura?
