Cheers chaps. It's good to know that at least most of L'Eroica will be rideable on a 42/28 so thanks for that nugget of info stedlocks.
The 13-28t freewheel seems fine so far. According to Velobase the Super Record has a maximum sprocket size of 28t, and a max chain wrap difference of 26 teeth - with 42/53 chainrings and a 13/28t freewheel I'm right on the limit, but it's working so far.
I agree the Rules are often best ignored. Except rule no. 5. Except where rule no. 5 involves cold tootsies. Then it can be ignored too.
