om...
I'm considering ordering a Serotta Legend Ti (maybe the ST), and I'd
like to put a 9 speed DuraAce triple on it. The dealer didn't bat an
eye when I talked to him about this, but then I searched this
newsgroup and found Peter Chisholm's post saying that this won't work
because the Legend seat tube is so fat that the front der cage won't
move far enough inward to get the chain onto the small ring.

I have great respect for Peter's expertise, but I'm curious why I
can't find any other references to this problem on the Internet. Has
anyone successfully put a DuraAce triple on a Legend? Thanks.

I had a Legend ST, and now an Ottrott, both with Dura Ace triple components.
In both cases it works just fine. I've never heard of what Mr. Chisholm
referred to. Perhaps it was a custom with very oversized tubes.

A better, more knowledgeable place to ask your question would be to Serotta
directly. And for further verification, post your question on the Serotta
forum. A lot of Legend Ti's live there. http://www.serotta.com/forum/
