I just updated this bike with parts bought here. I think the derailleur hanger is bent because I cannot get it to shift on the highest gear (smallest cog). I took the limit screw all the way out and undid the shifter cables but the chain will not go on that gear. The bike has a 7 speed rear with 3 speed hub. the 8 speed shifters work well with the hub/derailleur combo. I also got some veloce skeleton brakes to match the architectural theme of the frame but the reach is too short by about 2 mm. Tempted to drill the brakes to make it fit but I don't think that would be safe. so the brakes are for sale. It is supposed to be my bike to lock up, hope that thieves are not attracted to small wheel bikes.
