My commuter bike that I used all through college (a couple decades ago - never mind....) has a 1967 vintage S-5 five-speed Sturmey hub with double triggers.

I set it up with gearing that gives me about a 50-100 gear-inch range (approx.) and used to regularly draft behind city buses at close to 30 mph! I still have and love the bike - it has Super Champ Model 58 40-hole rims in 700C, a Campy-NR-copy Sakae crankset & BB, aluminum bar/stem setup, and ESGE full fenders.
I have been gathering parts for a similar non-descript, which I plan to build up around my Austro-Daimler-built 1975 All 531 DB Sears, in vile green. Have nice 4-speed S/A hub, but down a trigger (shifter or two). Anyone want to sell one or trade for ???
thanks
