The half-step plus ganny is OK, but with the hills in western Pennsylvania I am changing to a 52/42/32 configuration. The 1970s Simplex SLJ 503 triple front derailleur is really nice. It preceded the 1980s 523 that I am using. Good luck.
Cheers,

That's a fine looking UE8 with some well-chosen upgrades.
