Her Betty started life with a 3x9 derailler drive train like many Rivendell 
bikes. Laura really did not need, nor was she really comfortable using, all 
that gearing for the around town riding she does. I built a new wheel with 
a Shimano 8 speed hub and put on a single speed crank. She is much happier 
with this setup for the riding she does.

That Novara is a cool looking bike.Based on David's photos I'd lean 
toward recommending the boscos to your friend if she's dealing with a neck 
injury right now.

David -- thanks very much, the before and after really do show a
difference -- very useful.

Will report on this build and inflict photos. I am presently not in
buying mode or building mode for myself, so this is a free and
vicarious exercise in spending someone else's money to build what I
like. (Yes, yes, I have put her needs first.)
