Hi
This weekend I spent some time picking up a custom back bike wheel from Abbotsford Cycles and fitting it into my 
Victoria / Hercules folding bike.  The wheel includes a 
Sturmey - Archer S2C hub which is a modern eqivalent of the broken Duomatic hub originally on the bike.  As well, I've fitted a folding handlebar on the bike.  This came from the 
cat-lady via Stu.  I have yet to ride the bike much but it seems likely to be a reliable and fun machine.  As well as benefitting this bike, the new hub forms part of whatever type of 
Velocino I end up making.
