I run 32-44-53 x 25-12 8spd.
I feel faster on the geared atm but that's partly because I'm new and partl because I only have a 69" gear and can easily spin out on the flat. Winding up to 84" on geared is pretty easy. I'm also lucky enough to have pretty nippy acceleration and can flip through gears fairly smoothly.
What unerved you about fast freewheeling? I know 40mph can be a bit scary but I can't imagine that you'd be hitting that too often in the city.
