All my stuff is scavenged from other bikes as you can see by the shifter. From a sears Austrian three speed.
Sears to the rescue. I bought a basket case for 12$ and got this switch and the cable, pulley and cable stop plus a working Austrian aw 3 speed hub. The frame was even salvageable.
Fits me real well like this.
The paint is fantastic! I've toyed with the idea of a "lightweight" 3 speed on a vintage frame, but the AW hub I saved from a heavily rusted 26" rim uses 40 holes. I'd need a 700c tandem front rim to build it. Well, and a frame with 120 rear spacing.
