Are your wheels 27"? I copied this ad from another poster that I found interesting.

I was happy to get the 14-26 on mine as the 14-22 5 speed that mine came with was too tall for me. I am 62. I will need to investigate the 45/42 gearing that PhilBob57 mentioned. Flatlands here too. I didn't pull my BB, as it was adjusted to perfection and I didn't want to risk damage to the cotter. The 3 speed guys pour oil down the seat tube. I made a slightly runny lube of grease and 80/90 gear oil and put down seat tube. I had to push it to the bottom with a dowel. Laid bike on side for a day and rotated pedals. After a couple days of this, I saw traces of lube from the BB. Repeated on the other side. Not really proper, but BB adjustment and bearing feel was perfect and I wasn't going to risk cotter damage. This bike won't be ridden thousands of miles so good enough. A very interesting and unique find and project. Have fun and keep us posted.
