Hi All,
Thanks, some great suggestions here and componentry advice. Just what I needed. I am still a little unsure of the way to go on a 3 speed shifter. I have seen the 3speed SA thumb shifters and SA grip shifters - anyone got any advice/experience in addition to wandt? I am looking to go with the smallest, cleanest solution and am happy with either action having owned bikes with both mechanisms.

I will go away, do some homework and come back with what I find before putting my hand in my pocket. Thanks, J.
