Cane Creek has a 110 spider that works with the crank. A company called Ratio Technology makes a narrow/wide 110 chainring compatible with a Campagnolo 13 chain.

Not the straightest path, but i did not want a black crankset. I also had to strip the black anodizing on the chainring.

Thanks! It's really lightweight for a steel rig with an R8000 group and alloy wheels. A smidgen over 17lbs.

The best parts are the road feel and handling.
It mutes the road buzz really well without deadening the feelings of grip vs slippage, corners really well yet predictably, and it never speed wobbles at all regardless of descending speed or wind.

I rode this bike in the e'Tape San Antonio a couple of years ago. At the water station about fifteen miles from the finish, I overheard (couldn't help it...they were loud) a group of young men complaining and generally whinging about how rough the road surfaces are.

I honestly had not once noticed or even thought about the road surface at this point.

A quick glance around revealed they all were standing over carbon superbikes with deep section carbon rims.

I just quietly smiled as I loaded my refilled bottles back into the cages then rode away.

Your bike has criterium bars , I like that. Steel has a very good a road feel and handling. I have a True Temper framed MTB, it is easily one of my most predictable and best handling mountain bikes.
