I just bought a rough one recently, a '72 "Supercycle". Keep your eyes open for English built bikes that were sold at Sears (JC Higgins) (Free Spirit), Eatons (Glider) and I'm sure there are others. The Supercycle brand was for Canadian Tire and the brand still exists with mostly BSOs.
As long as you have an English threaded BB and horizontal or angled dropouts a 3 speed is a fun project.
