I wonder if they have the play of Sturmey's original fixed hub, the ASC?

'sturney archer'?

Thats quite nice. I used to have a Raliegh 3 speed as a kid and loved bombing around the hood on it.

I've only just grown back into mine. They're brilliant, they have the directness of a singlespeed with an extra gear for uphills and another for downhills.

Everyone should have a bike with Sturmey Archer.

LGF you do have a good point. Charlie should know better.


Im really tempted. Would need a new frame etc etc though to go with it, and SWMBO seems to think I have enough bikes.

"S.A." can also refer to Shimano Alfine...

I'm seriously considering the new alfine 11, hoping a dropbar lever comes out.

If you have about £1000.00 try a Rohloff:
