I really like the looks of the Athena chainset.

I could get a Potenza Groupo for about £650, sell the chainset and buy an Athena (maybe in a triple) for under a ton. Profit.

I'm sure the Athena chainset would be able to handle my moderate power output.

Any reason why the Potenza mech wouldn't play nice with the Athena triple?

no but you'd want at least a medium cage if you're going for the triple, probably long.

Triple mechs (front) have a deeper cage to handle the greater difference in tooth count.

Are you planning to tour with panniers and a trailer up a mountain?
