Excellent. Thanks for all the advice, guys. I'm going to talk to my mechanic tomorrow about spreading the frame a bit. This is not something I'd trust myself to do, but I have absolute confidence that my mechanic could.

And my shifters, yeah, I use friction exclusively on the bike they're on now. Not a big fan of indexing, turns out.

Does anyone know off the top of their heads if I'm able to put a triple crank on this. Why not just go for broke and change the whole drive train while I'm at it, right?

Thanks again.
