53 /39 because that's what the bikes came with
12-22 on both bikes. But one bike is a 10 sp triple with a 30. The other is 9sp.
I can treat the gears as hi range, low range, and can find what I need somewhere in the middle.
While I am not exceptionally fit, I live in a place with modest hills, just enough grade to knock it down / up a gear or two. But going south rolls more with shorter but steepish hills and I can use the 3spd, especially against the wind.
