Yep, that is a cool old grocery getter. The paint looks great with the chrome on the frame. I love the colour. I like the Sturmey Archer three speed set up on that. What shifter is that. From the pictures it does not look like the tradition S-A shifter. I also like the three pin crank. I wouldn't actually call it a grocery getter even if that is it's current use. It looks like a great all arounder.
I did a similar thing on my Lampert. 27" wheels with a three speed.
I like the shifter cable routing down to the bottom bracket, however for me, with my big, clunky shoes, it hits the cable. I don't know if that is an issue for you. I re-routed mine up to the seat cluster. Picture to come.
