Excellent, so my 46/29 idea should be no problem at all.

It is a 65cm. I must have been off slightly when I measured it. Sorry
about that.

I guess that would have to be a Sackville, so it would cost a lot more than
$20!

I ran a 26/46 for a while; no problems, though shifting between rings,
particularly upshifts to the 46, where a bit slow but otherwise not
problematical. I later changed to a 30/44 which shifted wholly
unexceptionally. After all, the difference between the standard 39 and 53 is
the same, 14 teeth.
A cycling-specific merkin for sheep? That would be a niche item.

Exactly- "overly stout" is entirely subjective given the weight of the
rider and riding style. When sachs builds frames for his racers, he
has the advantage of knowing their weight (and since they're racers,
they're probably not overly stout themselves) and can build the
lightest bike that will st
