Im pretty new to this but I had a cheap kit on a cheaper mountain bike a few years back then sold it off when I moved out of state and couldn't legally ride it anymore. I'm back on friendly turf and wanted another bike. I've been looking at the Firmstrong Bruiser for the bike and a pk80 kit from ebay. Any suggestions for what speed bike I should get? I'm leaning towards at the 3 speed so I can use the gears without shifter or Jack shaft (unless I'm wrong and it wont work). It runs a shimano nexus internal 3 speed rear hub with a coaster break. The major issue I see is the coaster break. If I swapped out front fork and added a disc break up front would it be sufficient? I've found rear sprocket adapters for the hub and plan on a 40 or 44tooth sprocket.

Oh please tell me your still reading replies to this past
I have the exact same him on an Electra but cannot find any info on hub adapters.
Coaster brake and don't want to go JS. This bike is beautiful, stretched with a faux gas tank. I need the laid back bars cuz it's got MB bars on it now (ughh) . But most of all it needs the GoshDarn sprocket on the left!
Where's those adapters?
Thank you Beau
