Sturmey Archer AW "NIG"

In 1984 Sturmey Archer made the "No In-Between Gears" version of the AW for Columbia. This is the first appearance of the revised driver design that made its way in to the rest of the Sturmey product line by 1990. Interestingly this is not QUITE the same as the final version - it has more AW type parts than the later versions did but it's close! The driver assembly is different from the original AW but different from the later hubs too!
