This is also my first internal gear hub. I think it is great. It shifts instantly, it's nearly silent and it feels like there is much more 'grip' than on my derailer bike. Just make sure that the two lines on the back hub are perfectly aligned. I thought mine were, they weren't...and well I did a thing that made the guy across the street wince and protect himself. It's an asy fix though.

Edit... I bought it after getting tired of looking for a mythical used 3 speed.. LOL As far as I can tell, they don't exist near me!
