I bought a nearly 30 year old bike and gave it a 2x2 drive train. Was it worth it? To me it was. I had a lot of fun building, and enjoy riding, it. The cost was minimal. Would it be worthwhile for someone else? I dunno. I post about it because forums are designed for sharing ideas and information. If someone wants to know how to do it I will tell them what I did. If they don't - move on to the 10,000 other threads available for comment.
