Like riding fixed wheel on the road? Wish you could ride fixed and change gear. Have a road path frame where the rear bridge is not drilled for a brake, but wish you could fit one? (I love this sales talk!!!!!)

Here is the answer: the TFB.

The hub is in OK condition for its age. The centre of the barrel has rust on the chrome, but this will not get worse, if you use it, as oil leaks on to this spot during use. The hub has just been serviced by a "Sturmey" man and he rated it mechanically as being in good condition. The brake lining are a probably a little oily due to the service so be careful first time out. No trigger or cable.

$130 plus post at cost.
