Thanks :-)
Its all good, I haven't taken offence but my knees have ha. I've got a 16t campag cog on the mavic wheels and a 15t steel campag cog on the Khamsin. When I was riding daily I had it running at 49x15 but then I stopped riding due to knee pain when off the bike. Other than for photos I wouldn't run anything bigger and I think aesthetically it would be way too shouty to run anything bigger than a 52.Speaking of chainring, I've always wanted a pantographed Cliff Shrubb chainring for this but struggled to find a track chainring without the cut out like this one -

I love the colour of this bike. It's so clean too.
Can I make a suggestion, and please don't be offended, have you thought of running a bigger chainring and matching out the gear with a larger rear sprocket?
Personally I think it would look more aesthetically pleasing with a big chainring.
I put a drilled 54 on my Aende and swapped out the block to suit so I could still push the gears.
Just my opinion mind.
Keep up the nice work
Jon
