Biggest Chainwheel I have seen. I thought 53 was max. I have a 52/18 and the hills are a bear. 54/18 is higher / good thing you kept frt. and rear brakes. I have only ridden fixed for a few months and may remove the rear brake soon since I am getting used to the back pedaling braking feel. It takes a while to get the right timing for fixed braking. I am not into a skip/locked up rear wheel. I like my old knees too much and favor the right one which was dislocated more than once. Thanks and watch yourself downhill on the Alps.

Why’s this rate so low? Under this snowy exterior is a decent looking bike that navigates the freakin alps.
