Sure........Why not? I'll start with pics. I have two 3 speeds (that are road worthy) Neither Raleighs or the like

My Nishiki:

This pic was taken just before I dialed it in. I had just sold my fixed conversion and wanted to ride something new. The Nishiki came to me as a frame and I just started throwing parts at it.
*700c's laced to dynohub up front and a crappy Sturmey TCW 3 speed coaster out back.
*Steel north roads cheap bars.
*Dia Compe inversed bar end brake lever to a Dia Compe centerpull up front.
*Brooks B5N with an old saddle bag I had layin' around.
*Shimano tri-color 600 cranks (175mm hate 'em) with a Rocket ring.
Ya so that's basically it. Just thrown together for kicks.
Next is my '57 Schwinn Corvette:

When I got this I was really surprised how well it rode. It' pretty old. The rear hub is dated 64 and the front end was sadly used for parts for another bike so it's not correct. After riding it for awhile I've decided that while I have a certain amout of respect for how solid it is.......I just don't like it.
And just for some eye candy:

I've got more too..........What to do?
