Hey everyone, thanks for all the responses and ideas. Might go with
some sort of IGH set up. Either way it will be fun, and after all
nothing is permanent right? its all just tinkering. -Mike

I'll second these suggestions and throw in the Schlumpf counterpart to the

And, in case there is was any confusion, the S2 Duomatic kickshift doesn't
have a coaster brake, the S2C does.

There are also 2-speed options (that don't require cold-setting or
chain-tensioners):
- Sturmey Archer makes the 2-speed S2 Duomatic Kickshift hub with 120mm
spacing... and provides direct drive in 1st gear and a +38% 2nd gear - This
costs about $75 and comes in coaster or non-coaster, and 32/3
Actually I can see that a hub gear either fixed or free makes sense, given
the dropouts. I guess that cosmic voice that is continually buzzing in my
head is having at least small second thoughts. But I can't see putting a
derailleur, front or rear, on it.

I too fall in the camp of why? This is a great single speed bike why change
it? My answer would be sell it and buy a bike designed to be multi speed.

I can highly recommend the S3X. I've had great luck with this hub on two bikes:
Quickbeam and Patrick's former Motobecane.

AlfineBeam is awesome! I highly recommend it. Mine is with Bullmoose bars. I
had the rear respaced and cold set to 135 mm ( if that's the right
terminology.) the QB has ride qualities that make it special independent of how
many gears it has. So figuring out a good way to gear it was a high pri

You've got thousands of multispeed bicycles out there in the greater world.
You've got several Rivendell multispeed models, from all-out, heavy-duty
off road to club-fast. You have one, perhaps
