Mine was Biopace and I was able to acquire the rings from a member on the forum. I also swapped out the freewheel for a Shimano 14-34 mega that gave me a good bail out gear for touring.
Thanks...so you're happy with the 38 for the middle? I've been thinking it might be too large and a 34 or 36 might be better. Also, sounds like you and the guy in the link I referenced agree with the MegaRange freewheel. Did you need to get a different chain when you upgraded the freewheel?
