zrainryder - I'd suggest changing out the cranks. Campy front shifter/derailers don't care what crank you are using. Once you start changing out stuff in the back it opens a can of worms which (for me) is solved eventually with spending too much money.
On another note you may want to ride it as is for a while. Although I'm not familiar with that particular model, Serotta's are generally responsive machines and depending on the terrain and your condition you could eck by with that 34T/28t combo. I had swapped out the cranks on my Campy equipped Merlin, geared 12-23 in the rear, with a compact compact of 46/30 using a Sugino triple. Recently I returned to the 50/34 Campy, since I'm pretty sure I will be selling it, and found most of my routes to be doable. That bike won't be seeing any racks or bags of any size and it could use a couple more teeth in the rear, but as is it's fine. Bigger gears rely on technique as much as strength. Let us know how it works out. Phil B --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
