I believe you'd need a 19t....
Most people drop the chainwheel size down a couple too, so something like 39/17 or summat like that.

Yep, 41-18 is almost the same as 44-16 on a "20 and was fairly standard BiTD for adult cruisers. I had a Falcon cruiser for a couple of weeks and I'm pretty sure that was the gearing on it.

You can really stomp those gears Crooch!!!
41t - 18 is between 44t-16 and 45t-16 so it a good starter and probably more suited for us old folk who cannot spin as fast as the used to!!
I did run 40-18 and it felt too spinny. I'd go for 41-18

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
