The only thing detering me from the Schlumpf is I would get the overdrive version, and this bike is going to see the Dolomites. I would be worried about the granny end of gear inches, thus my interest in a triple crankset.
Nice! A triple will be cool... don't forget, with a 9/26 Capreo and a SpeedDrive 1.65 overdrive with 38t chainwheel on 490mm tires will net you 28 to 134 gear inches... food for thought just incase the triple idea falls thru for any reason...I can't imagine a stud like you going much lower than 28... bye the bye, have you heard about a delivery on the Cadenza, or have you switched tracks... oh yes ... pics please!
