Is there any issue with the front chainring from a 5-speed being used with a 3-speed hub? I know 1-3 speeds use a wider chain, and 5-10 speed vintage bicycles use a narrower chain to facilitate switching gears on the rear freewheel. Would the front chainring(s) be narrower or troublesome in any way?
