Anybody knows who might have this in stock? All I can find is the coaster brake version on CRC.

Cheers.

Why not the Sturmey-Archer one?

Just curious.

I went looking for one for a customer and was told my Madison (the main Shimano importers) that it's an OEM only product... So you'll only find it grey import, or on a bike.

Sturmey is better though!

Hey bikewhisperer, why is the SA better?

Coz the new ones have sealed bearings and you can buy the bits to fix them anywhere.. And the important bit on the outside of the bike that it falls over on isn't made of plastic. 🙂

Proven performance.

50,000 miles was not uncommon, and that was back in the 1920s.
