Thanks all - lots of good ideas! Since my husband manages to ignore dog hair tumbleweeds, dirty dishes and a litter box in need of changing while I'm traveling, I doubt having bike parts in the living room would have the desired effect. And my birthday was last month, so I don't want to wait until next Feb!

I think I'm going to have to do this step by step, piece by piece on my own. Oooh, that gives me an idea! If I start the project, leave it on the work stand and spread out in the garage with all my parts ready to go...I bet he'd do some of the work on his own just to get his workstand back! Ha!
