hmm, maybe i wasnt looking hard enough :) my current 52 is indeed on an old double chainset and i ride on 27". find this a very comfortable ratio to ride on.
the hills here are a bit mental, but after riding for 3 years on this ratio here ive got very used to it, when im not riding this bike i ride a 50s raleigh with rod brakes which is stupidly heavy which has helped me to get stronger. after riding that for a week anything else feels like riding a razor.
i want somthing that will fit a sugino xd or somthing similar, im not sure that a standard chainring from a double set will fit.
