That sounds like a great idea!
I have a 40/28 mtb crankset on my pelago with a 11-36 at the back.
Even with 35mm slicks I can get up a with that bottom gear and staying seated.
And with friction shifting it's pretty easy to set up the FD too.
MisterMikkel-
When this previously had a double, friction front was dreamy! There are some crazy small little rings for mtb, 22t!
I've just taken the carradice mount back off the saddle, so I can move it back to the original position. It's infuriating that, in order to use that mounting system, there needs to be a significant amount of saddle rail available

I spent last night taking off the basket and re-configuring the lights, so this could be ready for the ride this weekend - it reminded me how little I like the swapping of bits for particular use-cases.
I think an old mtb triple with the outer removed/bashguard will be the right move. <=30t little ring will open up a happy world of cadence possibilities.
