Thanks for the feedback. I hope I can get it done this weekend.

I don't take it as a bad influence its probably a good one. I have thought about some projects too long its time to just do one.

I am interested in 3-speed bikes that don't seemingly double as achors although I likes those old bikes too.

One of the visions for this Schwinn frame was making it a 3-speed partly because of the cable stop issue. I have a couple old SA hubs laying around and some used rims that would work, but I haven't mustered up the courage, effort or patience to build my own wheel yet. This Schwinn frame has vertical dropouts so that might make it more of a challenge if I ever decide to go that direction for this bike.

A couple months ago I was considering getting an old road bike with a 3-speed SA wheel and putting it on a nicer lighter vintage road bike, but after I got a single speed that idea moved farther back on the interest meter. I am still intruiged by it and it would be pretty easy to do.
