Has any one looked into an over/under drive unit just to bring the revs down?
How'd this get here?

I drove once a 712M in Denver with an OD transmission that was for sale at CWR.

In comparison to my 712, (which when taking my off the pedal at 65 MPH feels like a parachute was opened in the back) it was very good, the RPM's were low and when the pedal was let go, the Pinz continued without reducing the power that much.

I personally thought it was very fast and much quieter, but I am no expert, so please don't make me liable for my comments 8)
