I had dug up an old 6 speed freewheel with a 28 tooth low gear. The marriage between the old chain and the old freewheel wasn't great, but the gear range was very usable for the big climbs on each end of my ride (not big by tour standards, but big for my out of shape legs!).
Going to order up a new freewheel and install a new chain and see how that works out for now.
Thanks for your help on this.
BTW, I had looked at pricing for MikeZ's bike and that is a pretty good price for a low mile high end bike. The Campy Chorus did get good reviews on the bike forums I checked.
