I've carried out one modification since I took this photo last December - the 36T Campagnolo chain wheel has been swapped with a customised 32T Sugino wheel (I had it drilled to fit the 100 BCD of the Campagnolo crank - it was originally 74 BCD).

It works fine but during a trip in Hokkaido in August, 20 kms up to a mountain pass fully laden with camping equipment, I realised the 28T at the back wasn't enough. Next mod - a 34T at the back.
I love the "I'M ON A BICYCLE" arm. I recall you said it works and it doesn't get drivers mad.
That's great work on the smaller chainring.
Go all the way with one of those old Suntour AG 38s!!!
