Don't get me wrong about this DT bike forum. It is great but for me it is inconvenient, ntm bassackwards
& unhandy linking to specific posts, so I have decided to start putting my full length posts on my blog
MavandJen_Europade. I will make announcements of posts here, and I invite others to comment. btw, with permission, I would like to list some of the people on this forum that I find authoritative and useful.

The Sheldon Brown "Touring Triple Crank" section lists two Sugino Cranksets for less than a $100 twhich I'm guess would be about for the DownTube VIII. It also provides a benchmark when shopping for used parts.
