    I had a 127 on a bike, can't recall the chainset make/model though (I think it was on a circa 2000 Giant)
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    Something like a Stronglight triple sounds likely.
