next project

Ok I'm already thinking about my next project. I want a bike to donate to our Church auction next Spring so I have a lot of time to get this one together and want to really put a lot of features that will appeal to most everyone so I think I might try one of those 8 speed Shimano Nexus hubs. I'm thinking of using a Trek 520 or something along those lines with 700X 28c tires any other suggestions on frame selection that won't break the bank are welcome. I will probably use the elkhide barwrape from Velo Orange. Other than that I think this bike should be more of a MUP around town grocery getter/ cruiser. I know thats asking a lot but. Suggestions? I know you all will have a them so help me out.
