I like the EEZZ, but I've always had reservations about the proprietary, narrow range, non-upgradeable three speed derailleur drivetrain with its unique 76mm OLD rear hub.

Perhaps it's because I got good service out of a 30 year old Classic III and have a 9 year old Mu D8 that continues to soldier along, but with the EEZZ/Jiffo's discontinuation in the NA market, I have to wonder what one would do upon finding their 76mmm OLD rear freehub's bearing races pitted in 7~10 years?
