[QUOTE=55 Traveler;14060664Anybody tried one of the old Bendix units? Gearing thoughts?[/QUOTE]
I've heard one guy say that the yellow band hubs (with internal expanding shoes) are better than the red band hubs (with multiplate clutches). They all get good reviews but they only use Bendix sprockets and they are only available in a couple of sizes.

9 speed coaster? Do tell!

I think these are great ideas. I would, however, add a front brake and lever for control.
Yeah, Absolutely right. I usually add that after the initial photo shoot

Yeah, and some more than others. I should do a little more reading on that.
