In response to OP, that shifter should work with that hub. Check the width of the hub vs the frame set you want to use. If it is the same, yes. If it is different...maybe. If it is different and a steel frame it can be made to work, if it is different and an aluminum frame probably not. I have several of the older Shimano 3sps laying around the place. The early ones (70's) weren't as good as the S-A but by the 80's they had gotten better. I prefer the S-A but that is personal perference. And now S-A is made overseas and the last one I saw was a POS.
