Ahoy !

I would like to set-up several in time-line bikes with triple cranks and 5p and 6p cogsets. Most specs. I have seen are for doubles and race biased or CR Listers discussion of their respective personalised set-ups. Does anyone have any OEM specs for rings and cogs in the period roughly mid-1960's to end of time line? Additonal comment - have to admit a conundrum for my never-built-a triple mind is the actual composition of the 5p/6p cogset. Example: 5p @ 14-34 - I cannot even take a guess at the individual cogs. Yes, the historical aspect of what was considered "smart" gearing is of interest beyond the as you like it.

Thank you.
