>From the Sutherland's 4th Edition, here are some data. First number is BCD, second is hole-cent-to-hole-center, which I find more useful:

Edco/Mavic inner triple: 90/52.9 Takagi Tourney: 95/55.8 Old Campy triple, with mounting bolts drilled into arms: 100/58.5 mm Avocet/Ofmega, 102/60

To me, the old Campy triples, as on the P15 Paramounts, looks like something that a decent amateur machinist could do with an indexing table and a milling machine...

If it is not the 100/58.5 circle, then it was obviously not the standard Campy unit.

debuted at Nick's ride on Sunday, which was good, cause it came in the mail on Saturday...

Anyway, its a campy triple, quite probably home made. Its a pretty good one though and has no cracks and appears to be neatly made. Its a pretty major combination though, 39-49-54. I'd like to make it a less knee busting 52-42-36 but that inner ring (which is campy but some sort of drillum) may not be a BCD commonly found. It also came with the correct, era-y Phil Wood bottom bracket.

Anyway, I like the concept, as the Monte (or at least the parts) seems to be heading in the direction of a sport touring bike.

What do you all think?
