Thanks Dixie - Part of what Im doing is hobby horsing, building up the bike as an exercise in understanding it, another is building a bike that'll serve well as my road ride for the commute and for long out of town jaunting, and finally its partly an excercise in seeing just how damn pretty I can make the thing. I take your point though, and have settled on the 50/34 for now.
I appreciate the help from everyone - ta ;-p once I have final decisions I'll pop up some pics in the projects thread as things develop, and then hopefully see some of you around LMNH. If you're ever short of tools around there drop me a PM, I'm nearby ;-p
