I'll be doing some work on my McLean soon. I took a 65 mile ride on it on Sunday. I got knee pain, and I don't normally get that riding. I'm blaming the 175mm cranks as incompatible with my short legs. I'll see if I have shorter cranks I can put on, and if not, I'll buy some.

And now that my replacement Lemond frameset has proven to fit well, I can begin the rebuild of my Super Course into a gravel bike with 3x8 brifter drivetrain. I'm really excited about that. It will have 37mm tires.
