Some ghost shifting, but otherwise good riding

You can buy individual Miche 9 speed cogs up to 29 teeth. If 26 is large enough, keep your eye on ebay for a Campagnolo 8 speed 13-26 cassette. They still turn up new occasionally.
I do think I will leave it set up like this, if for no other reason than no one on the Sunday group ride could believe I was riding steel ("How can you climb hills on that thing?").

It is a freehub, currently a Regina 11-23 or thereabouts. Looks like there are lots of options for 7 speed freehubs available, especially with this derailleur.

I'll need to figure out how to set up the rear shifting better. I ended up with some ghost shifting.
