had an offer for a saddle, has anyone got a internal gear hub lying around?

I have a 26" wheel with hub gear and 7 speed Shimano cassette- not sure how many gears in the hub, I'm guessing 3. If any use pm

have got any pics of the wheel? or do you know the make and model of the hub?
I'm guessing that if it has a cassette it may not work - I've no derailleur hanger.
will do some thinking about wheel and mudguard size and think about the rest. cheers for the offer!

a bump for the rest of the stuff. in particular I'm after some monkey handle bars - i've no idea where to source such a thing.

Maybe give Bareg Cycles a try, the owner rides a trike and last time I was there he had a few frames and bit out the back. It is miles away from London though.
Thought I'd put up a wanted add for the harder bits to find for my trike project.
What I need is
**Hub gear or wheel
**Quite specific this, but here goes
I need something with quite a decent range - %250 - %300 to get a decent low spinny gear and still some usable other. Also It need to have an internal cable operated brake system of sorts. This brake needs to have a swing arm mount as my frame doesn't have disc brake mounts.
Cheers to the hub/wheel offers I've had already but unfortunately they didn't fit this.
Also I need a rim to go with this - 24" and quite wide. will take some chunky 24"x2" tyres. If anyone has a 24" schwalbe big apple that would be handy!!
**Brake doubling mechanism
**I've seen a few bikes with this clever box of tricks to pull 2 brakes with 1 lever. I've seen a few solutions online but I will be good to see what the forum can muster.
**Saddle and clamp
**I need a comfy saddle that both I and my wife will approve of - she can be very fussy. Also - the tricky bit, I need a clamp to attach said saddle to the seat post. It's the old style connector, I've no idea where to find one of these.
**Handle Bars
**Will need to create something for this but a pair of chopper handle bars would be perfect, or some big promenade bars. They'll be chopped up so nothing fancy.
**BB Cranks Chainring
**Need an english bb and a crankset. This is all kind of dependent upon the rear hub.
**Mud Guard
**Rear mud guard to cover a 24"x2" tyre. chrome would be best but I'm not fussy.
Think that's all for the moment
Big thanks
Harry
