Be careful how much you invest. That Shimano 3-speed hub was notorious for its, uh, inferiority. Not much joy there. Also, Kia bikes in this period were on par with department store bikes, the kind we call Bike Shaped Objects (BSO). If it works for you, fine, but you could do better for not much more money.
