I run a real half-step on the Peugeot: 45-42 / 13-15-17-20-23-26 (could easily go to 30T with a 7-speed freewheel or 34 with an 8-speed

My first Bianchi, a 1962, came with 52-47 / 13-16-19-23-26, which provides a 9-speed half-step, since the large-large crosschain is redundant with the 47/23, but who does large-large crosschaining, anyway?
