Italuminium, can you easily find 4-speed trigger shifters over there? I'm looking for one for my Superbe.
No! The LBS, who has a warehouse full of stuff, says that the 4 speed parts are rare as hen's teeth here. The 3 speed parts however are another story: most Gazelle's, Unions and Batavi came with AW hubs for a large part of the past century. You can literally take them on the side of the road, of abandoned beater bikes.

thanks for all the compliments btw!

And a campagnolo IGH would be awesome. Luckily Rohloff stepped in the gap of a high precision, high dollar and high gear range hub (especially in the phil wood casing) - unfortunately my finances won't allow one until I get my first steady job.
