I recently resurrected a 2001 Lightspd that was semi-retired when the OEM Ultegra triple R brifter began skipping the 25t cog on
an 11-28 cassette (10spd). Started looking at 48/32 double CW and the 11-34 CS800 11spd cassette and finally pulled the
trigger a few months ago with an R7000 105 group. This gets me a low of ~25, compared to ~29 on the other road bike, which
will eventually be transitioned to the 11-34 cassette when the 11-32s spares I have run out.

And now Shimano has seen the light and come out with their gravel GRX chain sets with 48/31 options that are even better
than the FSA 48/32 I have now, for potential upgrades to the other road bike, which is still 50/34, in a few years.
