I have this cool Sturmey Archer Quadrant shifter but somehow I think that 3-speeds will make the bike faster than i would feel comfortable with riding with just a single brake.
I like the cable-operated drum brake Sturmey 3 speeds, like the BRC or even the late version of the coaster TWC. They were both incredible stoppers. Once the TCW adjusted, it was difficult to even force the gear into a false neutral so no calamities.
