Cool info to know, Mr. Parker.

I was going to replace the crank that came with 54/40 rings with a triple because I figured I could never find rings to fit, but talking to my LBS, he informed me that I could still get chainrings for the crank because the TA Pro Vis 5 (cyclotouriste) rings will fit. So know you have options in case you want to customize. I went with a 42/28 combo which I love. They really are wonderful bikes.
