More on compacts.......

So I've continued to ride with the 50/34 - 11/23 gears. Still not getting it. Top gear is way too high and the shifts from small ring to big are like a scary movie.
My dilemma is that I love my titanium bike because it is an evolution of all things comfortable and responsive and smooth......other than the current gearing.

Then came the moment of cranial clarity I was waiting for. Why not get a smaller large ring to fit my current crankset that allows less dramatic inter-ring shifts and drops the big gear to a more reasonable 110 inches or so?
This is exactly what I've ordered and on its arrival I will install and evaluate for the benefit of us all!
