I think it unlikely that a woman's rod-braked 3-speed is what Elad really has in mind. You are driving here now Jim.

Hey! It has all the most modern cable actuated brakes! And real men ride womens' bikes. If he wanted a cheap, good looking, and perfectly functional 3spd to tool around on, then maybe...
Anyway, the Huffy 3spd I have is really a nice bike. I got it a few months ago and cleaned it up and repacked bearings then rode it for a few days just to make sure it was fully functional. Those few days turned into a few months because the bike is simply a pleasure to ride.
We need to have a Central PA house tour for the three of us so that we can see exactly what each other has. My little bike world has grown exponentially since last you saw it.

And Tolfan too? He is not so far away. Is there anyone else hiding around here?

My little bike shop is in a state of flux now. I have six that I need to sell. Trying to go through the big sell off to finish financing the new Long Haul Trucker (with bar end shifters naturally). You might want to make the tour before the big sell-off so as to get the maximum effect of my clutter.

1. Trek tri series
2. Schwinn Le Tour
3. Miyata 210
4. Schwinn Traveler (built as a fixed gear)
5. Bob Jackson (harsh, but the Trek 760 is going to be the new go-fast machine)
6. Trek 800 MTB (I think it's going to one of my Scouts' fathers).
7. a bunch of Dura Ace parts
I'm hoping there's $800.00 or so there. Need to get the old butt in gear.
