bit off the wall but am building an old style shopping/touring bike for my brother's fiance's mum. Got a whole dawes bike of ebay for £16, gonna powdercoat and get new wheels. Thinking of going for the real deal with the Sturmey archer 3sp hub gears. Uses 27" wheels, got a 27" rim so thinking of building one on that. Does any know what ratio you want or any other uselfull tips or even have a hub kicking about?
