Thanks again for the info.
Could you explain the difference between a compact & standard chainset ? Does it make a difference for my scenario ?
One of the reasons I am happy to keep this frame is that it cost me £125, which was a fortune to me back when I had it made for me by a friend in 1980. I never really rode it much because it was shortly after buying it that I stopped cycling. I chose every type of lug individually for it's position, & it is completely to my spec in every way. Since buying it I've only used it for the London to Brighton once, & London to Paris once, so I'm keen to start getting my moneys worth from it.
