Man that is a deal.

Wow, that sounds great!
Noob question though:
What do they mean by "roller brakes"?
Is that like a coaster brake?

 

[schertztx]

coaster brake you pedal backwards to brake, roller brakes have a brake lever on them but it brakes at the hub instead of a disk or rim brake. I don't know the exact specifics but similar to a drum brake if i had to guess.

Thanks.
I've been checking craigslist for a Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub...
But, this deal looks really sweet!
