just came across my answer, kind of. Bike island has a wheelset with the sturmey archer s3x laced to Alex Subs for $250. http://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_S...ls&ProdID=1708

shifter, housing, cable, and cog included. seems like a good deal.

Re-cycle: cool set-up. What did you use for holding the housing to the frame?
