Sturmey Archer hub for vintage frame with narrow dropouts?
If I recall correctly, the rear dropouts on my 28" wheel Phillips are around 110mm. I think vintage SA hubs were around this dimension. Does anyone know if any of the new 3-speed SA hubs (AW or S3C?) come in this size? Most seem to be around 116mm or larger.
Or am I better off trying to pick up an old hub? From what I understand, the latest hubs from SA are pretty good, and don't have a neutral gear, which is nice so you don't risk falling when pedalling hard and standing (which has happened to me before with older SA hubs).

Looks like the S-RF3 comes in 108 and 111 but only in 28 spoke, if I'm reading the chart correctly.

Standard OLD for older S-A hubs is 115mm.
