Any suggestions for how to gear a 6-speed 1980s Colnago for the Alps?
The rear is 126mm spaced, and we want to keep the original hubs/wheels. The bike's currently fitted with a triple, but it looks hideous and still doesn't give a low enough gear.
Planning to change the chainset and rear block, ideally to something Campag, and would like to get a gearing that approximates the lower-to-middle range of a modern compact. Not bothered about having bigger gears, as will be coasting downhill enjoying the view and recovering...
All suggestions welcome!
