Curious if anyones tried the SA 7spd hub? I found one redicuously cheap (about $50 new, with the Gripshift style shifter), but I cannot find specs or reviews on this hub. I'm thinking it would be sweet for my commuter project, if its decent and it can withstand some pretty ugly weather.

Thoughts or opinions?

SA 3 speeds are the shizznit in my humble opinion but I haven't had the opportunity to play with a 7 speed yet.

Is shizznit good or bad??? :)

I'd be real curious about the 7-speed. I'm guessing that they're popular in the UK??

Yeah they are mostly Euro market it seems, but even with shipping they would be A LOT cheaper than the Nexus or Spectro... just trying to find out if the quality is comparable.
