So, with the dodgy long cage, I have an IRD 7 speed freewheel 13-32 and the original cranks with the 52 and 48t. I wish I had gotten the 6 speed freewheel because my 1984 cramerotti doesn't have the room for 7 speed really. Other than that it has been great to climb hills more easily, although I had gotten used to climbing with the original victory set up....The freewheel maybe is giving up, definitely behaving badly. And now the chainrings are wearing out! The options are very limited and expensive, so I might be selling the cranks and putting another crankset on with more available options.

I am glad you found the long cage of your dreams.
