Last year I geared way down so I could keep riding during chemotherapy, and to my suprise my spin improved dramatically, so that I get around town now just as fast in a low gear as I did in a high gear.

Give it time and eventually your legs will comfortably go whizzzzzzz.
What RPM are you spinning at? This guys seems to want to ride in the 35 MPH range, and I dont know too many people that can ride that with 70 G.I.

It should be 130mm BCD or 144 mm BCD. Once you find that out you can decide which chain rings will fit.
