For about the same price,the Swobo Dixon has a 9sp,easier rear tire change,and will take a rear rack and fenders easier. I love mine.

edit: Also,they had them last year,they just changed the name. They also come in a much cheaper SS model. You could get one of these,rebuild the rear wheel with a SRAM or Shimano gear hub,and save a couple hundred bucks off the price of the 3.
