LP> I actually had a three speed once in my early cycling days (grade
LP> school). It was nothing but problems.  It seldom shifted properly, the
LP> coaster breaks went out after a few months, it needed repair within
LP> the first month, and after about four months I got rid of it (ie junked
LP> it, no market for a bike like that).  I now have 24 LX controlled gears
My experiences with Sturmey Archer Gears are quite good. When I was
stationed in England During the Berlin Airlift I bought a Four Speed
Light Weight Phillips Bike with a 4 speed Sturmey Archer Gear built
into the rear hub. It had Caliper type brakes on both wheels. I never
had any problems with that little jewel and I rode it all over Lancashire,
North Wales, Scotland, Ireland and London. I liked it. Wish I still
had that sucker.
