A Very British Klunker

The Santa Fe originally came with the obligatory Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub, in true Klunker style I am wanting to replace the side pull calipers with drums and ditch the internal gears in favour of a derailleur.

Found a NOS rear hub on eBay... 20210905_125635.jpg
Which fits the frame 20210905_125604.jpg 20210901_182934.jpg

And decided to go down the Suntour gearing route as these were readily available in the UK in the late 70's

With the help of @Peachy! had a rummage in his old road bike parts stash and had play with a few freewheels to see if I could get away without spreading the frame. Even a 3 speed freewheel catches the chainstay, so I guess the frame will need massaging...if only Bob Jacksons was still open 😔 20210918_132630.jpg
 
Are you keeping the Dynamo front wheel? I want one for a wind turbine…………..
