That's a great bike. I keep a 1962 Rudge Sports at my mother in law's place in Palm Beach. It's a nice bike for Florida. I geared it way down when I was in the hilly part of NJ. I don't need the low gears any more, but it doesn't bother me much, either. I just use 2nd and 3rd gears, because 1st is too low for anything there.
