I'm assuming that you are referring to the '66 P13 in Radiant Coppertone. Unfortunately, I found the 25" frame a bit too large, so I replaced it with the '71 P13.
If the large-large combo on the '66 was a bother, I'm certain you will enjoy (sic) this picture of the '71, when I had it set up for NH mountain climbing. If you don't want to count, that's a 50T chainring paired with a 38T sprocket.
And, yes, it could handle the small-small as well, a 31T - 17T combo.
Currently it is in the dry-dock to be regeared for flat coastal island riding with non-Campagnolo. I know--- the sacrilege!
P.S. Thank you for resurrecting this old thread. Brings back nice memories.
