Shame about the 1x, otherwise would be a terrific modern groupset on old frame.

i know, you're right, small chainring is not as aesthetically pleasing, but it's the best for me. this is not my race bike.
Josh got it right, all weather, all day, all country, all everything, but descends, i don't have to push at 40kmh and this gearing (34x12-28) gives me the comfort of 11-36 kmh at cadence of 90 rpm on 30mm tyres, no big/reasonable jumps between gears, just efficiency to get me where ever i want. also designed to take a big saddle bag for intercity overnights 150k+, only way i would swap is a 40/28 road crankset option, ultra compact
cheers to everyone on that 1x bullshit do/don't, for me this works perfect

I actually like that a lots, 34t is a little on the small size as this may increase wear on the chain/cassette, as the smaller the sprocket/the more wear it get.
