Put a rear derailleur on that hanger, a cassette on that rear wheel, and a new/longer chain on. A downtube shifter to match the rear derailleur with a cable and some housing will make it work. It will be more than 3 or 5 speeds, but I think you can deal with that. What cassette is your rear hub designed to handle?
Thanks for responding. I know a ton about cars (Mustangs) and trucks (F350!!) but not allot about bikes.
Yea I do not know bike parts very well. I have a friend who is a bike mechanic who built my bike, I just told him what I wanted. That sounds exactly what I was thinking was possible. I only saw 7 or 10 speed cassettes online. I am pretty sure the bike had a 7 speed cassette with the factory wheel. The derailleur was all screwed up so all of that is gone.
