I believe the 5 speed hub is the X-RD5(W) (http://www.sturmey-archer.com/products/hubs/cid/4/id/10), with drum break. The gearing ratio is 256%.

• Gear 1 - 62.5% (-)37.5%
• Gear 2 - 75% (-)25%...

Oh, another question for Norman if I may: how much work was it to install a dynohub and light on the Guvnor?

Other than a wheel rebuild, what things had to be done? I know the Pashley Sovereign...

I'm currently riding a vintage british triumph, a heavy rod-break affair, slowly rusting away. I'm quite used to the weight. Though I must say, I picked up a friend's Pashley Princess the other day...

I think the Pashley's drum breaks and hub dynamo suit well. If only the Guvnor came with the hub dynamo too! It would save me the expense of having a...

I adapted the image of a 26" because it was easier to do in a rush than the 28", but I had in mind a B17 on the 28", with the handlebars suitably lowered. If not, then yes, the B66 would certainly...
