thanks for the help guys.

been talking to ben at velomine, think i am going with the black weinmann coaster brake wheelset they have. He also said he has an extra cog for 5 bucks more, so i will have a 16t and a 18t for my GF to figure out what kind of ratio she would prefer.

and although im not sure if i will get to welding the coaster cog (do not have access) i definitely will repack the hub with some phil wood grease
