The models with internal-gear hubs come with:
- 48T chainring
- 18T sprocket
- 1/8'' chain
My model, Katu 30, has 5 speeds.
The katu 20 has 8 speeds.

The chainring I have now is 46T, and it's OK for Paris (I mostly hang around between the Seine and Clichy).

thanks for the info, but how did you choose the new bottom bracket when you swapped the crankset? is it a regular double crankset road chainline value?
Regarding the change of shifter, was there any problem to set up the thumb shifter instead of the gripshift-like shifter? Nice car btw!

I can check at home the original BB.
When I replaced the crankset, I had put a regular 109.5 mm DA 7700 but it was too short.
I've replaced it by a basic one: now it's a bit too long :D
I'm looking for a 7703 or 6503 (made for triple cranksets).
