Yes, another tripod buying thread. I've searced here and elsewhere and most of the collective experience centers on the previous models: 1225, 1325, 1348, etc. What I would like to know is this:

For use with a Speed Graphic, Pentax 6x7, a variety of 35mm bodies & lenses and travel by bicycle or backpacking, which current model Gitzo 6x carbon fiber tripod legs would be appropriate? I'm leaning toward the GT2530 or GT3530.

I'll also need a head. I know they are way too expensive and possibly not the best for use with a Speed Graphic, but the RSS BH-55 appeals to me for a variety of reasons.

What say ye? Thanks in advance for your help.
