as long as it pulls the cable and holds the tension it will work with a Sturmey (3 speed i can vouch for not too sure about the 4s and others) ive used a 6spd ratchet shifter with mine, its a bit guesswork cos you never know if ur in gear. When your not you know about it, as you go down so fast...

u should have wagon races like soapbox derbys that will be a riot grown men setting in wagaons :P

apes are kinda hard to find where i am (Isle of Wight, right down south), we mostly have a old racer culture, hence the 27" forks a 24 wil never fit with a big tire on a 20 you get minimal clearance Guiness is well expensive in dublin a freind went up there for his birthday and consequently...
