This bike got turned into more of a luxury sport-tourer, and the frame is worthy of it.
Does the shifting in front work out with the smallish middle ring, as far as shifting to and from the middle ring(?) (note that I corrected my comment in my earlier post #13).
I'm running 34-42-52t on my recent Nishiki "ONP" Pro acquisition and find the shifting to and from the middle ring to be slightly lazy and cantankerous but still fully workable.
I would use a pinned middle ring but so far have found none that are 42t and with a 110mm bcd.
