Ooh, a family heirloom. That's pretty cool. I've got my grandpa's magnifying glass - the one he used to light cigarettes during the summer. But given the choice between a bike and a magnifying glass, I think most folk would plump for the bike. I hope you get lots of use out of it.
I thought the chainring was bigger than a 48. I suppose I'm just thinking with my legs. It's more than I could manage
with a 16 or 15-tooth sprocket. Might be quite spinny with a 20, though. If you ride on it for a wee bit, you'll soon know whether you need less or more.
