Nice to see this old thread come to the top again. I had kind of forgotten it existed. I just spent most of Thanksgiving Day rereading it. I have seen only one 3 speed other than my Dunelt in town this past year, one of the University students was riding it. I did not get to see exactly what it was as I was driving in traffic when I passed her. It was pretty rusty, I remember.
BTW, does anyone know were I can get a couple of the nylon hub oil caps without having to pay $10 shipping?
