Big freewheels & cogs
Does anyone know where to buy large freewheels and cogs? I know there Shimano makes freewheels at least 23t large but for some reason my Google skills are failing me.

If you don't have a frame already, look for an old American bike that uses a one piece crank. You can pick up tiny "microdrive" BMX chainrings that will give you really low gearing.

I picked up a cheap bike with a crappy crank set, but my buddy told me he already found a crankest at the coop that would work. Gonna go check it out today and see where I stand with the gearing after that.
