bratton, is that a serious statement? it seems everybody is running such lower gearing than that. i want to get a gear thats good for track, and will be somewhat competitive(im 18) and something to travel around town, but fast. so i guess you can say im looking for a fast gearing. there are no hills on the velo/town, so i think those wont really be a problem. and if i do take it on a path i think it will be a crash course on a great leg workout. im running strong now, and training for a 1/2 iron man. but want something different and i think a track bike is what i need,

what about like a 48:15
