Her Betty started life with a 3x9 derailler drive train like many Rivendell bikes. Laura really did not need, nor was she really comfortable using, all that gearing for the around town riding she does. I built a new wheel with a Shimano 8 speed hub and put on a single speed crank. She is much happier with this setup for the riding she does.
