Kit? Why? want IKEA to package it all for you?

DIY, old 5 speed frame, 1 speed freewheel .. I got an old 5 speed wheel , replaced the axle spacers,

to be the same width on both sides, adjusted the spoke tensions to recenter the rim

between the 2 axle ends And the centered in the frame ,

put a chain on and its good ... only need 1 chain ring, do need 2 brakes..


But, I like gears, 3 speed IGH are simple and reliable.. you can buy them built.
