Current Projects chat and miscellany

Okay so this is my current fixie-which i was riding in London for about a year
I'm now studying at Leeds Uni and there are far to many hills to keep the bike this way

I want to put gears on the bike but keep it looking aesthetically clean
so i was thinking about just putting rear gears on and keep a single chainring at the front
I have only ever built fixie's and singlespeeds so not sure where to start

Just looking for some advice on what i need to buy and a rough cost of the transformation

Thanks

What about a 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub? (and some brakes)

Would keep it looking something like a fixie, you can even buy them fixed.
