A "new" 3-spd in-progress.
A Schwinn Continental I'm cosmetically-backdating. Rims are new Sun 27" aluminums with Sturmey Archer AW and GH6 hubs. Found a couple unusual single-wing wingnuts that fit the DynoHub but am still looking for wingnuts to fit the Sturmey rears. Handlebars are an old style Schwinn that isn't nearly as "aggressively upright" as the Schwinn upright style from the 70s. Until I can find a top tube S/A lever quadrant shifter I'll be using the standard handlebar thumb shifter. When I find a nice pressed steel rack I'll replace the cast alloy Pletscher. For now the crankset/chainring is the original Schwinn with the large 52T ring and chrome protector plate removed. I'd like to adapt a single ring cottered crankset sometime. For the time being the gearing is 39-22, perfect for riding the parkway paved paths and schmoozing with the older-ladies walking their dogs.
