Oh yeah, forgot to mention: FSA Gossamer cranks, rings and bottom bracket. Very cool looking.
The rings are 50/30 and the 10 speed cassette is a straight block 11-21, so with the smallest gear of 30-21 I should be able to climb some pretty steep grades.

Living someplace where we've got roads like Alba that rise 640m in 6.4km, I got a TA triple crankset back in '81 when I first built up my legnano. Back then it was 18 speeds, I think that now I'm up to 24 or 27 with the new rear wheel. > > It's a beautifully built frame.
