That's how I want to go. I don't want to rush into it, but since I found those little rust spots I just want to fix it and prevent any more. So I'm doing powder coating this week. I think I'm going to go with British racing green for the frame, and maybe straight black for the fork and chain guard. I think that will look pretty mean.

With a R-20, the voyage is more than half the fun.

My mistake. I've been busy checking out all of the different hubs out there i got confused with Shimano and Sturmey Archer.

Easily done. I'm building an R20 around the Shimano Nexus 7 (mostly cos I could get one much cheaper than an 8, now they're last years news).
