Modding the big ring is another good call.  I recall some poster on
the list griping about how cyclists don't spend enough time building
and modding their own parts.   Oh, yeah, that was me.  Now, if only I
could angle to get myself a new bandsaw.

Wife:  what are you doing in the garage?
Me:  setting up a bike
Wife:  you don't need another bike
Me:  but I'm just using parts I already had.  This bike hardly cost
anything
Wife:  um, well I guess that's OK, but what are all these charges on
the credit card?
Me:  oh, I needed to buy some tools to build this cheap bike
Wife:  ##facepalm##
