I am not familiar with the Sequoia, but that Bottecchia looks like it has a Campy double crank with 135mm BCD. Do you want lower gears for Pacific Coast? There were a lot of hills last summer when I road Astoria to San Fransisco in the 8 percent range. Some of the alternate route hills in Oregon were 12 percent. Even if I was credit card touring instead of lugging a full camping gear load, I would have wanted a triple on the 12 percent hills. If my knees were 40 years younger, maybe I could use a double, but maybe that is why I now have bad knees.
