Does anyone have such a thing knocking around their spares bins? Ideally alloy. I can't go smaller than this due to limitations of a braze-on FD.

Try SPA cycles. I'd be surprised if they can't help.

I have a spare 52-42-30 (done about a thousand miles) I wouldn't mind swapping for a low mileage 48-38-28 if you have such a thing.

I don't, I'm afraid. 52-42-30 is what I currently have...

I was thinking that. I went that route when I 'triple-ised' my CAAD5.
I went for 48/38/28 (and have since replaced the 38 with a 36) but all sorts of combinations were available. I just checked - the nearest they do is 50/40/30, if that is any use to you - £65. You might be able to persuade Spa to replace the 40 with a 38?

I've just noticed... You can choose your own selection of rings for an extra £15. (Presumably that it is to pay a member of staff to faff about swapping them round!)
PS And that the current version is a bit different to the one I bought, which has 5 visible bolts NOT 4.

I have this in my box of bits:
50/39/30, think the cranks are 172.5. Middle ring replaced with a Stronglight or a TA, can't remember. Should be in decent nick, did maybe 3000km on it before swapping for a compact double, the old middle ring got most of the wear. Any use?

That's looking good! What would you want for it?

Just dug it out from the bottom of the box it's been in for the past 8 years or so - it's in good nick, no significant wear, a couple of little scratches , no heel rub. Looks like I even gave it a wipe before putting it away! Turns out it's a 175 (odd because the bike it came of was a 56 seat tube), & the replaced ring's a Stronglight.
No idea what it's worth - does £25 posted sound reasonable?

I'll give it a miss at 175, just a bit long for me. Many thanks though for digging it out. I will ipdate my want to say 70.

No probs, back in the box with it, then!

Many thanks, but that's too small for the braze-on to adjust to - I've tried!

It occurs to me that I could transfer the rings onto my Ritchie cranks, same BCD. Is that kind of swap a thing? If so still interested!
