Classic 3 Speeds

[mikeeebikey]

Have to be classical bikes? Or are they just classier with a 3 speed?

For your consideration, a Ross Compact, circa 1980, with Shimano 3-speed and stem shifter. It was obtained with drop bars (first picture) and was switched to risers. Nice, sporty rider. Three speeds are all you need for most riding. And lots of reflector area: big reflectors on wheels and mooneyes on the brake strut.
