ive got a carrera tdf which is a bit battered but I use for a winter bike now. It does take guards and a rack so when summer comes it's going to be a fast (ish) tourer as well. Only be overnight, perhaps 2 nights, Coast to Coast maybe. Currently it's got a 53/39 on the front and 12-25 cassette. I'm not going to change the cassette.
Is it easier and cheaper to put a third ring on the front and make it a triple or to put a compact twin on? I think a compac will give me the gears I need but obviously not quite so many as a triple. Can't say I really need a 53!
