Good point on the 13-29 cassette. I just sprung for a new Centaur 13-26 from PBK but haven't received it yet, so could look for a deal and install a 13-29 first on the Campy and see how that works out with the standard crankset. However, I'm not a big spinner (at least not yet).
EK, agree on low-end FSA.
nwbikeman, do you use a 13-29 with your 53-39?
