This bike has been in this thread before, but while we're at it here's another view.
I 'created' this machine (i.e. it's a bitsa) in order to use the Cyclo Standard derailleur which I was curious to try.
It's quite enjoyable to ride, and reasonably practical (brakes excepted). The block is 16, 18, 20 with 46/32 rings, giving a bottom of 41.6" and top 74.7, with fairly even spacing. A lower bottom would be desirable, but for some odd reason there's not much choice nowadays in three speed blocks. I have got a 16, 19, 22, but the gain at the lower end is offset by problems in the middle of the range.
You will notice that this bike is similar to the James shown at the very top of this thread.
