Can you suggest a 5 speed hub? Sturmey Archer?

I'm guessing with the 5 speed, 3 is the direct drive and I will have 2 lower gears and 2 higher gears... Is definitely better than just direct drive and 1 higher gear...

Sharing a story... (a short version of the story) Yesterday we helped an old man with his old rusty bike (he needed some tools) and he wanted to try my bike. After he used it he kept talking about brakes and he told me I needed a front brake. Then he took his backpack and he had two weinmann calipers type 810 and brake levers and he just gave them to me. He told me the levers were broken but I fixed them. This morning I add the front weinmann caliper and is working very well. I guess he was right about me needing that front brake
