Kev,
Tha 3 speed was fun with it, and if I was doing this again, I'd still go the same route. The cadence (?) is LONG! When you get into the 7th gear, you can be movin' right along. I don't do a lot of haulin', but it feels REALLY good to get into 7th and move. A lot of wind (and me a lot winded!) goes by.
I will say one thing on this, and that is if you have a lot of ups and downs, the lower gears are STILL very useful. 4th and 5th seem close to normal for the way it was, and 6th and 7th are for ground covering....
Hope that helps a little. I'm not a big technical bike guy, I just like to mess around, and see what I can put together and make work. This bike was a test, and it works great to me. The one thing I ALWAYS do, is make sure the tires are at or close to max inflation... Wanna keep that rollin' resistance down to a minimum.
