Well! Thank you very much indeed!!

The biggest piece of useful information regarding the bicycle I've received in months! You've sold me on everything! My Muirwoods is happy now I guess, opposite is my wallet =)))

Would please elaborate on cranks? How would you describe the difference in gearing / chainrings? Haven't experienced 22/32/44 so I'm a bit hesitant here.. Is it faster / slower? Or what?
