    You're probably right, but in all of my time riding road bikes I have never wished for a higher gear but always want a lower one, on every ride.

    My current road bike which will be replaced by this bike, has a compact. I can't remember what size sprocket it has on the cassette, mind...

  • You can get polished alloy compacts, from the likes of TA and Stronglight, so probably worth checking them out.

    I assume you want polished alloy for that retro look?

  • This.

    Spa Cycles have some nice looking one that you can choose with TA ring.

    Even the one with the cheap ring costing £25 work well.
