Definitely going with the two cogs again--my age and the terrain demand it. Suprisingly easy to set up, and works flawlessly--if you choose the cogs right you get a nice half-step between the big S-A jumps.

Record definitely came in a 25.5" frame in the 70's. That was my first ten speed, a yellow one with black panels.
