Anybody have any idea on gearing options for the specialized langster track bike? I know specialized sells a 61 tooth front chain ring for it (big!!), but what about rear gear options.

The big difference with the langster is that it is free-wheel (which I prefer, not being a track bike purist....I like to coast ever once in a while). Does it's free-wheel nature affect the rear gear ratios I choose from. I'm guessing I can't use regular track bike rear cogs.
