Roadieryan truly grasps the complexity of this issue. As he predicted, my wife lept over the discussion of eccentric hubs and chain tensioning and is now fully focused on the details of the Eleven81 wicker basket, which she declares a stunning example of a bike basket. Given that I'll be doing the tire changing, at least initially, I'm biased toward the rear derailleur set-ups (though I spent many happy hours of my youth banging up a 3-speed Hercules). Thanks all for your comments.
