of course I could play it safe and cheap and find a 53/39 with 175mm's and learn to deal with it...
this goes to how I coach my wife when we approach a long hill: Don't let the *idea* of the hill defeat you. It's ok to have to quit midway and push it to the top, but one should still attack it and do the best you can. with this, she usually makes it.
IOW's I should take my own advice...
115mm was the Italian thread spec for double cranksets post '77. I don't recall the length, but the triple spindles are marked [IIRC] "X3" after the "70-SS" (or something close).
