I got it on ebay for a good price. I could buy a new one. Are you saying new ones are in short supply?

The ratio is 42/16, and the gears step down, so it's geared too low. I'll put on a 52t chainring later.

Cranks are 155mm in length!

Tires are a very cushy 35mm, inflated to about 55 psi. I will probably put 32's on instead, because these are tight.
