Bikes: 2000-something 3 speed commuter, 1990-something Raleigh Scorpion

A chilly morning today. I converted my bike from a 3x6 derailleur setup to a 3 speed IGH last night, and it feels like a totally different bike to ride. Thankfully my homebuilt wheel held up just fine (a first attempt at wheelbuilding for me) and the three gears feel about right in terms of range. I've lost a bit off the high end, but those gears rarely got used anyway, and I can always coast if I spin out. All in all a nice, cold commute today.
