T.A. does offer triple versions. You might also have a look at current models from Sugino and
Stronglight or old Shimano MTB cranks of the time before they introduced the 'compact drive'
system. All these cranks come with the traditional square taper which I like more than the
splined ones.

Well, there's no such thing as a 110/74 double, so...

But seriously, Sugino do a 110/74 triple Right Now.

Fiddlesticks! What about the original Sugino Mighty Tour cranks? Light forged arms and 110mm bolt
pattern- I've got a set I'm saving for a special bike. I bought my first set 20 (eek!) years ago for
my touring bike.

Its my understanding that for 2004, Ritchey will NOT have a 110/74 triple. But they will have a
110bcd double crank with 50/34 chainrings. Also, you guys forgot to mention Sugino has a 110/74
triple, like the Sugino XD here:

Do me a favor and re-read my post and then show me where I said anything about a 110/74 double.

Oh, untwist your knickers. The way you wrote your sentence *implied*
110/74 doubles. David was obviously being tongue in cheek.

Anti-fiddlesticks. I knew the 110/74 triple and 110 double idea is nothing new, it has been around
many years, longer than my mentions of the few cross bikes, RSX stuff and so on. If I remember it
was Sugino that first made such cranks in the last half century but I am sure that bolt pattern was
manufactured by some one we don't know of in the 1930's.

I've managed to install a 39T double chainring on my stock Ultegra Triple crankset. It required that
I switched to a Dura-Ace triple derailleur. The shifting has been perfrect for me although, I do
have to use the trim feature of my shifters to avoid the chain rubbing on the inner cage of the
front derailleur when in the 39T and larger cogs of the cassette. I don't believe I had to do that
with the stock 42T chainring.

cool! you get to make the same mistake i made back in the 80s w/ the Mighty Tour. while you're
looking at the numbers on paper, ask yourself where the queen mother of double shifts will occur.

I recall that 110mm bolt pattern cranks started to become common around 1975 and then the 110/74
bolt pattern Sugino Aero Tour around 1982-ish. I wasn't around in the '30's. ;-)

If fiddlesticks and anti-fiddlesticks are allowed to mix, will the universe end?
