From 110? I'd expect it to be 120 oln.

Gear chain? Try gear cable. He'll have to use one whether he goes with a Sturmey hub or a derailer, unless he wishes to use a cableless, 2-speed Bendix kickback hub.

Full housing, tie wrapped, if you're a Grant Peterson follower - or a slob (same thing
). Those who wish to be less crude can use a clamp-on, over-the-BB cable guide, and a cable stop further up the frame leading to a bar-mounted shifter.
