So I got the entire Shimano FF Sport BB, cups and all, off my 1970's KHS, and since the 39/53 Shimano Integer chainrings are very much an integrated part of the system, they will, along with the rest of it, be shipped to the Museum of Obsolete Bike Stuff.
I am thusly presented with the opportunity to play around some and change it up more or less to my will and whim.
One of the possibilities would be to equip my trusty classic with MTB-style triple chainrings. It is a commuter bike, and there are some pretty steep sections here, the eastern edge of the city kind of crawls up the mountainside.
Anyone have experience with doing something like this and how did you like it?
