The hybrid AW/Cyclo 3 cog derail set-up gives a reasonable range & the ability to shift when stopped.
Need to add a dynamo lighting system.

I'm using my 1971 International to commute on days when I don't have meetings. I thought about adding a bottle generator or dynohub for lighting, but the more pragmatic choice of a rechargeable NightRider light better fits the bill, especially since it's getting dark about 4.30 now. I can fit most anything I need in the Carradice, but I also run front panniers when the need calls for it. I've got a Carradice Super-C that can also get added in a jiffy, if I really needed the extra luggage - hasn't come to that yet, though.
