2. 'Preston'
This superceded the Dyna-Tech, which by that time has been downgraded to 'work-bike'
Sadly, the best mudguards that would fit the 755Ti were the Salmon Profils, & that was with '20' tyres

So, this came via the 'Cycle to Work' scheme

Bought in June 2013

3. Due to the deteriorating roads around here, '365' use -whatever the weather, plus thoughts about constant replacement of brake-blocks, I decided to go to discs

Bought in March 2017

I could also go up to, if I wanted '37' section tyres, with mudguards, but stayed with '28' - which were still the fattest I'd used on the road, since 1.5" Tioga slicks on my Pace Research in the 90s!

3A. (?) Due to my CGR frame cracking, it was replaced in late July, by the Digestive
Spa 'Aubisque'(cet)

The chainset is the one from the CGR, so details as above
Taken during rebuild
Mudguard stays to be trimmed, full set of lights still to be added

You may have noticed that all, bar the 'Gran Fondo', are on SPDs, for me it's the only pedal to countenance for commuting
Used with Sidi CX shoes, that are easy to walk in

A bit of a mixture of parts. Turns out you don’t have to use Shimano rings on their cranks, although it does look a bit odd.

Campag 1 x 9 set up on my schitty bike, pictured here with a short lived oval ring I wanted to try. Hated it.

11-34 x 46/38/24 (9 speed) this crank set would be perfect if not for the stupid hidden CR bolt behind the crank arm

.

I'm thinking I might delete the outer ring if I can find a front mech capable of managing the resulting super compact double.

A Stronglight chainset , does it also have those captive back nuts for the chain ring bolts . A brilliant idea until they become “ uncaptive” .

No, just regular CR bolts and backs. Apart from the hidden one which is 'special'.

CODA Triple prices are high! Got a 300M on my 90s Cannondale, one on ebay for £120. The posher 701M is, how much?

Think you will find the bottom one is something a little more special than a Ribble.

Triban?!!
