i want to build a 2spd fixed hub out of a 3spd sturmey-archer hub....

does anyone here have any experience doing this mod? learned of it from sheldon browns website if anyone else wants to read up on it...

i occasionally see vintage sturmey-archer 3spd fixed gear hubs on ebay sell for ungodly prices.....sometimes around $500.

Bikesmith makes and sells two speed fixed hubs. Might make sense to contact them and just buy one.

No, I've never used one, I just know they make them.
