Bridgestone Kabuki with Internal Gear Hub?
I've searched the forums, no mention of this configuration...

Looks a little rough. Price too high?

Three speed Sturmey-Archer internal hub.
Servicing Sturmey-Archer 3-Speed Hubs
In my opinion 30...40$ at max.

Thanks for the info.
It looks to me that the hub was added as a repair?

The frame is a mid-1970s Kabuki Submariner with stainless steel main tubes. It was offered as a 10 speed, derailleur equipped bicycle with dropped racing style handlebars. This one has been entirely rebuilt.

With the Cheapo half ass bendux 3 speed coaster brake setup and rough shape run away at pretty much any price. I wouldn't take this bike for free.

Thanks for the advice. It's a cool looking frame, I don't need a frankenbike money pit project...
