A pretty bad photo of my Peugeot.
Built the rear wheel around an 3sp SA AW hub, 42 22 gearing gives top of 67", mid of 50ish and low of 37ish. Also I cut some slots in the cable guides so to swap to a fixed wheel all I have to do is unscrew the shifter, unclip the cable and swap the rear wheel and chain, which takes literally about five minutes. The 3sp is very useful for the Yorkshire hills. Owes me about £150 (including the Reelights which were half price), half of which was powdercoat and decals. The thick tubing means it'll be easy to practice adding braze-ons without risk of overheating the tubes (I'd like to braze a rear rack on it)
