Hey Philip: I'm lacing up a brakeless S2 hub now (for use on my 86 Nishiki Prestige). It was so cheap online, I had to own one. I hope to have this done within the next few weeks (several competing priorities are delaying me!!!), after which I'll let you know how it comes out. The fixed 3-speed both intrigues (and scares) me. If it helps with staying in the pedals on downhills, that's pretty cool... it's a limitation I have with the way my fixie is geared (with a lower, old man gear), for which I have to slow down on the downhills.
