I have a few geared bikes which really don't need mention except my eddy merckx steel lugged road bike which is really sweet for any sort of situation when gears are required.

52x15 on the street? wow. i run 49x14 on the track, which is pretty much the same gear inches; i couldn't imagine that on the street. what length cranks are you running?
i want some pictures of the merckx!
