I've been collecting some parts and have decided to go for a 4 speed block on the rear with a pretty close ratio double chainset up front-I've managed to get hold of a chatter-lea double adaptor so it will be a Chater Lea up front, probably 48/52 or something like that.
The rear derailleur will will be a Simplex Tour-de-France 4 speed, and for the front rings I've go a cycle France manual front changer, aka suicide lever. The only problem with this is it needs a braze on, which I don't really want to get fitted to the frame (for the sake of cost/originality etc), so I may have to use a modern band-on fitting for it or maybe get another different manual front changer.
