Just saw a really nice vesion at local bike shop the head mechanic there took a Rivendell Quickbeam (single speed frame) and built a 3 spd hub. He put drop bars on and didn't like the twist shifter, so he managed to modify a 3 speed lever shifter to use a campy lever, to go with the cranks. Add aluminum velo orange fenders, berthould bags and brooks saddle....... nice
