Thank you for your concern... :-D
I'm more limited by my blood pressure meds than by the actual problem, they prevent high heart rate.
I definitely have considered just getting a modern triple and biggest rear cogs I can find, plus derailleurs as needed, and saving the old parts in a box.
How do you get the big cogs in the rear? Are they homebrewed, or new old stock, or does someone make them?
