Glad I passed. 58 is too big for me. I had a pristine Expert that size some years ago. Tried to make it fit, but felt like I was riding a giant. Enjoy!!! :thumb:

Doc, I'm running an 8-speed cassette (12-26) on my Basso Gap with the same 600 shifters and no problems at all. Hitting #9 might be a stretch, though.
