Doh! Thanks riderx. I am always referring others to Sheldon Brown's website, then when I have a question, I never thing to look there!
Mike, thanks. My first "serious" bike as a kid was a Huffy Sportsman with a 3-speed Sturmey Archer hub. But my favorite bike, which I will have to restore, was a Schwinn Wasp Newsboy Special. It was a heavyweight version of the regular Wasp with a Bendix two-speed rear end and using something like 2 5/8 inch tires. It was a TANK, but you could load it with a ton of newspapers and go to work thanks to the 2 speeds.
