Getting a bigger chainring and/or a smaller cog would give you a bigger gear. This is a completely reversible procedure, so it's not really a "modification." Just sayin'.

Because of the chain tensioning issue, I think a dedicated singlespeed frame with horizontal track ends makes things a lot easier than converting a geared bike with vertical dropouts, although there are a few ways you can do that.

I'm all about steel, so my recommendations wouldn't fit your criteria. Best of luck on your quest!
