Flossie got a compact double!

Used! The chainrings had hardly any wear. Used Suntour derailleur, too.

The only new thing in the bunch was the Salsa 34t.

I'm thinking I wanna replace the 46t (which is painted black) with a pretty silver 48t. They had a used silver 46t that they were willing to switch out for me, but I wasn't gonna switch just for looks without changing tooth count, too. I was pretty happy with my 48t I had on my old double, so if I decide to get a 48t I'll have them order me a silver one. Ramped if I can get it.

(they didn't have a used silver 48t, or I'd've grabbed it.)

The painted ring just doesn't look quite as "classic" as the silver. Yes, I'm shallow, I know....

What a great deal! ENJOY!!! But if you are considering replacing the top ring why not get a 50 since you can (compact doubles let you have a 16 tooth range), and a 50 is nice for the flats. If you noticed the diff. between a 46 and 48, I'll bet you'll like the 50 even more. I don't think you'll lose anything on the low end, since those gears tend to overlap anyway.

uh, Knot, I noticed that you did not respond to my challenge?

[KnottedYet]

Mimi - I have SKnot this weekend, and Trek will be here next weekend, then I have SKnot the weekend after... so I don't know what weekend I could plan a ride yet.

But I will!

I have a bike for Trek, (it's a Trek!) so we'll be doing some riding while she's here. If we have time.

Let's do hills If we have time

[mimitabby]

Great! we don't have to do Mt St Helens, but there are lots of smaller hills to challenge us around here. Where'd you get the trek from ?
I should say; tell us the story of yourr new acquisition, a Trek for Trek?

[KnottedYet]

It's from Recycled Cycles, it's SKnot's old bike. He's outgrown it, and it should fit Trek just fine.
