I don't want to dump a ton of money into fixing what isn't broken, especially since I'm really enjoying this bike as it is. Maybe I'll shop around for a used 52/36 or some triple.
I know it's not really period correct (plus, there's nothing wrong with my crank- I'd be happy to just put new rings on it), but for $35 this is tempting:
