	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.
