The derailleur is SRAM, back before they got bought out I think. It was designed to work with the internal sram 3x7 hub but apparently also works with a regular cassette. Bike Friday said it is long enough to take up to a 34t cog.
7 speed cassettes fit fine on 8 speed hubs using a suitable spacer, you just have to be sure that your dropout spacing is wide enough
