That stupid forum software has anti spam settings that work great for us.

It’s so contrary to maybe 90% of bike forums.
PS. I think your seat post is bent.

I put together a Typhoon with one. I'm thinking about putting a different rear wheel on this one and using that hub on a 1962 Racer frame. We'll see...

Actually the Huffy performed quite admirably, it was the engine that had mechanical troubles

My first bicycle was an early 1950s Schwinn American, weighed about 45 lbs, and had a 2-speed Bendix coaster brake rear hub, but with a gearshift that resembled a brake lever. I grew up in a canyon with some pretty decent hill climbs, and I frequently wanted a ratio somewhere between low (50)and high (66) gear inches. My friend's sister had a Schwinn with the kickback version, which everyone did refer to as an "automatic."

I used to - in the 80-90-ies. Messing with some of the bike messengers in town, racing up and down the streets. They did not know of and understand this old (already at that time) tech and I could get points without really deserving them. Frame was a Crescent Pepita Special/Reynolds 531 and I had laced the hubs, Torpedo Duomatic and High flange Record, to Campagnolo Lambda V.
