It's got an SRF 3 in the back, matching front hub as well. It's 117mm out the box, and they sell a range of spacers and lock washers to space them out, although my frame took 117 without even seeming to pull the frame in.
It's running 42/17, which gives me around 65GI, with a 75% low gear, and a 133% high. I use it for canal paths, single track, across fields, and the hub and gearing is fine with that.
My girlfriend bought a Pashley last year that came with a three speed hub, and when going out with her, the Pomp always felt over geared (I think it was 48/16 or so). It's really opened up the bike for me, especially with guards and a rack.
The shifter is one of these, with a full length outer cable held on with some stick on cable stops, down to a fulcrum clip on the seat stay.
The only thing I don't like about the bike is the Tektro/XT brake set up feels rubbish.
