This is a > weak point at best, I think. Help, I would also like to see an explanation of just how this type of setup works. What happened to the bikes front chain-rings? How is the rear wheel setup, with a single sprocket? Just how is the freewheel incorporated into the bottom bracket unit? This sounds mighty peculiar to me, I'll stick to my standard Campy crank and Regina freewheel setup, thank you.
