This yields 89 gear inches on the top end and 40 gear inches on the low end. This range fits the purpose of this bike and matches my abilities perfectly. True, I spin out at 32 mph or so. Who cares?

Also, I'll confess that the Victory crankset isn't period correct at all, but it doesn't look harshly out of place either. So...
