  1. I just picked up an '06 Lemond Poprad cross bike that came with a 46/38
    Bontrager compact crankset.

    Does anyone know if you can put a smaller inner chain ring (say a 36 or
    34) on this? From eyeballing it, it doesn't look like it can accept a
    smaller ring, but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

  2. the BCD is most likely 110...if that is the case it should be no
    problem to find rings for it...that is pretty standard equipment..

    if not...you can always just give me the bike...i have had a desire
    for a cross bike for some time now..

    That doesn't sound like a compact. I'm pretty sure the Poprads come
    with road BCD cranks, which is typical for cyclocross. It's probably
    a 130mm BCD crank, in which case the 38 is as small as you could go.

    If it is in fact a standard crank I'm sure you could sell it, pick up
    an inexpensive compact, and break even-ish.
