You have to be careful with the crank choice due to the wide chain stays. On the Vanilla I had to go back to a square taper with a 108 spindle to get the clearance for the rings. The chain line was still pretty good and the shifting worked fine. I am primarily using this as a winter training bike and a back up road bike so you might not need to run a 53/39 combo up front.
