Truly a leg breaker for any road courses. We all rejoiced when 6 spd freewheels became available - Ultra 7 ? impossible !!! could it get any better ???

Yup, my days of 52/42 cranksets and "corncob" 5 speed cassettes are well behind me now, along with my 27" X 19mm tires.
Now, it's a Rival 46/33 with a 10-36 12 speed cassette and nice, comfy 700C X 32 tires.
