I did TOSRV 1980 (a weekend double century) on a Raleigh 3 speed because I was 17 and didn't know any better. I wouldn't do it on the same type of bike now, especially with the original saddle, but I think you could set up a decent road bike with a just a 3 speed hub and be fine on a century that wasn't too hilly.
