@cooperryder - we have the same idea with the same model bike. Here's my Pug Orient Express in its current configuration:
Here's a shot of the drivetrain:
Shimano Deore with the old-style thumb shifters.
I can ride this bike all day long. It's not fast, but it will climb any hill I've come across and smooth out the bumps along the way.
