I don't think so although it seems like a nice, reasonable set. The 2 speed hub is intriguing and I'd like to see if I can learn a thing or two about wheelbuilding on this bike. A dynohub on the front would be neat.
If anyone has any experience with this hub or just thoughts, I'd love to hear what should be considered.
