Thanks. Lets see a picture!

Don't forget to check the rear axle frame spacing. Curious if it will take a 170mm Sturmey-Archer disc brake 3spd IGH?

I just picked up a Strumey-Archer 135mm wide disc brake 3spd IGH 8-9 cassette for my next build, so the fat cuisers are out for me. Standard cruisers are generally 135mm and so is the Soma B-Side MTB frame if I end up bulding a Gates Belt Drive bike. Nice thing about this rear Inernally geared hub with cassette or single speed option is the rear cog can be set anywhere across the cassette mounting area to get perfect alignment of the chain or belt, and just use the 3spd IGH for gears. 1st is 0.75x, 2nd is 1.00 and 3rd is 1.33x. T46 X T22 feels pretty good for everyday BBS## use starting in the 1:1 2nd gear, then shifting to 3rd. 1st is reserved for hills.
