I agree with this. If the OP asks, Priority will respond. They are super helpful.
In thinking about the OP's original question, the better course is to settle the "how many speeds?" question before buying. I'm a hobbyist and would enjoy making a massive change by converting a three-speed into an eight-speed. Love having the extra parts to play with. Enjoy the work. Not worried too much about cost. It's not a course I'd recommend to the non-enthusiast though. Deciding the number of speeds up front seems the more prudent approach.
