Well here's my humble offering. I love 1950's France. I couldn't afford to buy, so I built.
 
16t and 20t
And you climb 17% hills with no problem on what is almost an 88" gear :eek:. You have just made me feel quite pathetic given that myself and dr_pink drop most roadies on hills. You definitely need to come and ride in Rutland, 17% is my limit on 75" unless the hill is very short and I can get a run at it.
You should enter some hill climbs, you would do very well indeed.

i wouldn't be able to make up steep(ish) hills with tired legs at the end of long ride, but today with fresh legs there was no problem. here is today's training ride (i'm getting in shape for pbp), would be better without all the congestion and traffic lights!.. i find 86" gear suitable for summer riding, in winter it feels much harder to turn the same gear!
i've done this ride twice, that goes via rutland, some lovely cycling roads there with little traffic. if i remember correctly i used 20t cog on that one.
