hmm, wondering if it's slightly too big, aimed at a 5' 3" - 5' 5" person

still available mate?

dibs blb drops pls

So you've brought a modern hub.

Whats your point?

I haven't brought anything, I bought a hub.

...no ive bought a new hub, in the style of the original 3 speed, but fixed geared

i mean as in theyve been around for a long time, like over 100 years. obviously they have modern hubs but the concept has been around for decades...

sturmey archer hubs arent modern, i just added the fixed gear element

Or get a different stem perhaps?

yeah a few people have suggested that, but trying to keep it as original and authentic as possible

Need a set of the above, proving hard to find in this obsolete size. Preferably alloy, but may possibly settle for a steel pair. This size is from old british bikes, so if you have a pair that you know are from an old british bike and are a bit smaller than the usual, you might have what im after :)

Cheers

• Given up, bought a new-old 25.4mm one, therefore have a quill stem with a 23.8mm clamp spare if wanted.
  

I got a sturmey archer s3x from the states for around £100 including postage - thats alot cheaper than getting in the UK as far as i know. Got it build into a fresh rim down at condor cycles, all i have left to do is fit it into this old BSA frame i got for £30, and find a pair of drop handlebars with a 23.8mm clamp, which is proving to be difficult

I have an old pair of old drops from a Peugeot that may fit in

23.8mm clamp then?

^^^ Fuck the drops, BMX bars and a shim. Big pimpin'.

Nahh it would look mad on this thing :L i really don't want to have to get a new stem as i wanted to keep the bike as original as possible, but that looks like the only option i have atm

I'm building up an old BSA i got for £30, bought one of these for it as it was a 3 speed to start with, and built it into a fresh rim -

Problem i've got is that the handlebars stem is 23.8mm clamp, and i can't find a pair of drops to fit it :/
