Sorry to step in but
freebooter-where are you located?
its a spoked bike right?
used shimano nexus 7 speed hubs are kind of cheap here,maybe 50 euro for a hub
dump your deraileur,(which is really easy to bend or damage in folded mode
dump your rear handbrake and cable
lace up a spare 20" wheel and try it?
another option is an old sach orbit hub,many cogs on one side and it has internal 2 speed(like a sturmey archer 3 speed with the cable) so you dont need a front deraileur?
My diblasi has 7 freewheel and I would love to have a nexus 7 in it! they are great
