Subject: New Sturmey-Archer ASC Three Speed Fixed Hub?
Reportedly, SunRace/Sturmey-Archer is considering doing a new
production run of the ASC 3-speed fixed-gear hub, or an updated
version of it. Given SunRace's track record with Sturmey-Archer, I
would expect a new version to be more reliable than the original.

They're not certain about how much demand there might be for it
though. If this is something that would be of possible interest to
you, let them know by sending an email to:

You grew up with the 'fixed' version? They've always been rare from
what I've read. See http://www.sheldonbrown.com/asc.html, by the way.

Not fixed. I meant the coaster brake kind. I mistook the fixed.

Why is everyone knocking the original? Those are what I grew up riding
and I never had one break, and I did 80 miles on some weekends.
Besides, the original Sturmey-Archer is long gone and lives on in name only.
