I use a 47/36 on the front, with a 13/28 freewheel. This combo allows a normal Campagnolo Super Record rear derailleur to shift all the gears nicely. I use this on very steep hills, I can go up without walking. High gear is OK for slow old me. The chank on this bike was modified by the late great Jon Williams.
