Another thing I considered when I got the 30 teeth triple crankset instead of the double crankset was that I'd be getting older and I'd still want to ride that bike. That was 19 years ago and now that I'm 69 the triple crankset means I can still ride that bike up some pretty impressive grades and I can do it without having to stand up on the pedals. Far better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. LOL
Oh, since then I've moved all those components over to another Miele with Columbus SLX tubing.
Cheers
