That Moser is lovely - well done.
Some advice needed - following on from my questions from this page
I'm about to buy these fsa cranks from Planet x they just seem too good an offer to pass up.
They'll be for my Dawes, which is going to be an allrounder. Singlespeed crossish play thing first, then probably gears, keeping the options open for touring.
My problem is I'm still umming and ahing over whether to get a road or a mtb tripple.
As the cranks are 104bcd, so the largest chainring I think I can get is 48T. If I get a 12-27t cassett then the highest I'd be able to go is 107 gear inches. Is that enough of a top end? - I guess 21.8 is low enough?
The other option would be an MTB cassett like a 11-34t, which gives 116.8 to 18.4 gi's. My concern with this is whether it causes problems if I want to use sti shifters?
All suggestions welcome.
