Bikes: Iron Monkey: a junkyard steel 26" slick-tired city bike. Grey Fox: A Trek 7x00 frame, painted, with everything built, from spokes up. Jet Jaguar: A 92 Cannondale R900 frame, powder coated matte black with red and aluminum highlights.

The front is a 52. The wee ring in the back is a 12.

What the crap am I worried about? That's 117 gear inches. 27 mph at 90 rpm. If I can sustain that long enough to get serious chain wear, then I'm Mr. Princess Captain Awesome.

You're right. Near the center should give me a good sweet spot. Top and bottom are for extremes.
