    Just try to tell me you don't NEEEED this item:

    Is this not one of the coolest necklaces you've ever seen? I love the way she used a "chain link" as a bail. This "chainring" is a Shimano 52T. Wonder if she'd make one in Campy? (hey, she says she does custom!)

    I don't NEED one because I don't wear jewelry (either in, on, or through my body). But if I did, I'd want a Stronglight 49 crankset 45 tooth chainring, like my 1975 Maino and my avatar. A headbadge would be cool. My bike could wear the jewelry.

    Yeah, too bad Stronglight doesn't exist anymore. But they used aluminum that was too soft and their chainrings really wore down. You should have seen the chissel-points in my 45 tooth ring when I retired it.

    Is the question whether I need it or whether you need it? You're trying to pay off your credit card so you can get a new bike, aren't you?

    Ah, I missed that- Belated congratulations! I love the color. And only a 10th of what you had to pay off, to boot!

    And I have to admit that I haven't clicked on the link you posted above because I've spent too much this year on my new bike/new gear and a bathroom re-model to be buying any non-necessities now <sigh>
