Cool bike, but better watch out on the big ring - cause the rear deraillieur PROBABLY doesn't have enough chain wrap for that set-up - so accidentally hit large to large and something unpleasant will happen. Or maybe the chain goes slack on the small to small (I know, my mother always did say to avoid the extremes in both directions, but I didn't always listen to mom).

To avoid something nasty, best bet is to switch to Rally cage plates - then have enough wrap and could even go to a slightly larger freewheel in the rear.
