I've been using a skate wheel with two grooves cut in it, but I'm trying to add a bracket for a three speed trike hub where the skate wheel was. I'm going with a 7sp freewheel on the back for a 21spd, but a sram dual drive and/or a triple front crankset, would kick that number up to crazier (though probably some duplicate) numbers.

still haven't set up a new photohosting site, but I got it done and it seems to work alright. only rode it a few miles and did the local cyclouvia, but now the weather has turned. if I come up with another trike hub I may go ahead and try the "gears all over it" idea. it'd probably be fun, especially if I could find a bunch of the old muscle bike stick shifts to control the various hubs/derailleurs.
