adding gears to my single speed

I just looked at a pic of the frame....doesn't look like it is drilled for hangers or anything- dedicated single speed. So, unless you plan on cutting the frame up, I'm not sure there is a solution.
No solution to this unless you cough up the money for a new rear wheel and a Sturmey Archer S3X hub.

The axle spacing on your bike is too narrow for gears, and has no way to mount a deraileur. Just sell it, recoup you losses and start looking for a road bike.
Sucks, but that's the easiest way to get it done.

Traditional gears won't but the Sturmey Archer S3x hub will fit, though limited to just 3 gears, but comes in 120 or 130 spacing.
i appreciate the responses guys. Im gonna sell it...its a little on the small side anyway.
