New Sturmey Archer Shifters?
So the long anticipated S3X hub is out with its own shifters; looking back at the SA site I see that they have the same design levers, however for their classic 3 speeds (See link). They are also in the 2009-2010 catalogue.

Are those ever coming out/have already come out anywhere? Anyone know anything on availability? They look both stylish and solid, not the extremely annoying rattling plastic stuff up to now....

Here's where I got mine. Sold out now, thought.
Uh, you mean like the classic solid, all-metal Sturmey trigger?

The classic metal trigger up to mid 50s is fine but it will stick out like a sore thumb on my current setup (aesthetically) so the newer shifters seem to be both stylish and subtle (and most importantly not rattling). Too bad that site does not ship internationally, on the other hand, it is good news that those shifters are out there.
