I have enjoyed riding a Huffy 3spd for many years. To get a good 12 spd system I recommend using 44/40T chainrings and 16/13T gears on the the hub. The ratios are well spaced and it is self indexing. You need a rear derailleur or tensioner to work with multiple chainrings.
I made my own aerobars using mountain bike end bars moved inboard. I bolted together some aluminum angle stock and some verticle tubing for grips. Check the fairings on Photobucket from the earlier post.
