This started life as a 1968 Schwinn Racer. After Intermittent stops and starts on the build, she is done. She consists of: white Velocity Aerohead rim laced to Sturmey-Archer 3 speed hub with red spokes, 105 hub/ Velocity rim in the front, custom hand cut brake lever, hand cut and laced grips, lots of the frame was replaced with stainless steel and finished in high polish, Carbon Forte fork, stainless steel basket frame over the back wheel, and lots of other little hand finished bits.
Following in the footsteps of fixedgeargallery and oldtenspeedgallery, this site is devoted to photos of old hub-gear three-speeds. The bicycles pictured on this site are three-speeds that my friends, family, and I own, three-speeds that come through our shop for repair, three-speeds seen by me in the wild, and photos of three-speeds submitted by readers. Hub-gear four-speeds and five-speeds are OK, too, as long as they're old.

Surprised this hasn't gotten more comments. Your level of customization is impressive and admirable.
Very cool! Who made those baskets, and where'd you get 'em?
