Being stuck with the 13/28 Suntour freewheel I used a 39/45/52 Shimano 600 triple with the Suntour FD. Not ideal for these hills, but hey I'm supposed to be in training right? And the YMCA gym is closed of course.
What size tires do you think can fit on there? I may have a little bit thicker set I could send you, you in Tennessee somewhere?
