Wore out three sets of tires already!
What’s the deal with this thing? I got it from a buddy of mine when I picked up some whizzer parts. Is it worth finding the rest of the parts for? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I added one to my 1936 Roadmaster…it works alright, the shifter is delightful (the best three speed shifter I’ve used). It’s nice to not have to re-lace a wheel for gears, but given the choice between that and a Sturmey Archer, I’d take the latter.

The controls can be harder to find. Also beware that I've found a couple of the thumb lever return tabs broken off. The cables share the same thread on end as some of the ND 2spds and are frequently robbed.
Another plus to consider is that these are inch pitch (1/2" available too) and while they may not have been original equipment on anything, they were period correct for postwar bikes....and one of the few made in USA 3spds. I think that makes them a pretty cool accessory!
