I ride a 2002 LeMond Zurich triple that I bought brand new. It's a 52/42/30 crank with a 12-25 cassette. I've rarely used the granny gear 30 so I think my next bike will just be a 50/34 or 52/36 set up. It's been a great bike and I've been all over on it. Looking at getting an all carbon fiber frame but haven't done so yet. Maybe this Spring. As far as the seat goes I have the seat as far forward as it will go on the rails. Perhaps a little bit shorter stem would help but I'm kind of used to this set up. The frame is a 55cm.
