Has anyone seen these mythical sealed bearing Superbe Pro hubs, or (as I suspect) are they a myth?

they are not heavy at all, and they are better than DA. they spin more smoothly, and stay spinning smoothly much longer than any other hub i've ever ridden. they have the best look (in my opinion) very light and clean and simple.

Okay, but here's the thing. They don't make them anymore and they're extremely difficult to find for a reasonable price. If you have the cash, then go for it. But unless you have a fetish for hard to find, obscure bike parts (and I'm not necessarily saying there's anything wrong with that), or a good lead/hook-up on a pair, then I see no reason to pursue them.
I would challenge anyone on this forum to do a blind test of the hubs the OP just mentioned and if anyone was able to pick out the suntour hubs more than statistically probable, I would be obliged to pay you 10 MILLION WHITE TURBO SADDLES!
