Is that the IRD crank?  What gear inches are you running?

It is an FSA: Gimondi 42t crank with 19t on a SRAM Automatix hub. Sheldon Brown's gear calculator says I am running 60 gear inches in low and 82 in high gear.

Oh, man what a great bike. I salute your gear setup, too. Could I pick your brain in a couple of weeks to do a mini-review of your setup on my blog (biketinker.com)? That bike is right up my 2 speed Rivendell alley.

My Honjos need help. Yours look great.

Thanks, Addison!

Phillip, I would be happy to contribute my thoughts on this setup to your blog. Give me a chance to put a couple of hundred miles on it first, so a couple of weeks would be fine.

Happy Camper, on the way home today, I had fender rub that I didn't feel on my way to work, so I still have some adjusting to do as well.
