Hello Glen.Yes, It is a big sprocket. The latter part of this Rapide build will be attaching a Steib sidecar, so the lower gearing is appropriate. The owner is in his 80's and is likely much more safe operating with a third wheel attached and at lesser speed. Conversely, in the late 1950's and early 1960's, he would wring every HP and MPH out of this bike. Russ
