Never used 'em, so can't recommend for or against.
Nashbar also sells 27" Velocity wheels with freewheel hub. There's no good reason to get a freewheel hub these days though, unless you get it used and cheap. Cassette hubs are cheap and better all around, and you can fit a new wheelset into a narrower spaced old steel frame just fine.
