Honestly, I'm not familiar with Everest. My locals didn't even mention these as an alternative, only the Sun Race.
As far as eBay - I'm over the whole eBay thing. Before they became a house hold name, it was a great place to shop. Once they became a big name, it's gone down hill. I don't want to be in a situation where I have to troll the bay for pieces and parts if I don't have to. Living on the east coast and working on the west coast as I am now complicates eBay shopping. With the flakey turn around times from some eBay sellers, shipping policies, return issues, and then having the potential situation of shipping or loading items into checked baggage.
Sun Race seems to be the only option to buy new off the shelf free wheels now. And who knows how much longer they will be making new stock.

My Regina is in good condition, except that it slips - I think it needs new pawls. The bike was built with the Regina and I would prefer to keep it that way (although I know that may not be practical).

I'm willing to put up with what I have to to get both machines back to riding condition (the Peugoet will be dedicated to the wind trainer). Even if this means poking around on eBay and Craig's List. But them I'm done with the bay. The Vitus I will ride now and again, but since I'm pushing the advisable weight limit for that frame now, I don't want it to be my regular.

So I'll get everything back to where is was originally intended. But I want my regular ride to be up to modern standards.
This plan is still up in the air, especially if some of the contracts in the works go through. Currently I travel between Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, and Arizona. I may be adding St. Louis, Hong Kong, Japan, India and/or England to the mix. I've already had to give up my musical hobby, and may not even be able to get back to riding at all.
