You cleaned yours! What a nice ride.
Mine's a bit more of a work horse. The old ones tend to drip oil, so it gets on the hubshell and chain. Then dust builds up on the oil, leaving a familiar patina. On the other hand, old hubs that are coated in this way will still have bright chrome when you clean them up, even after many decades.
Note the chain guard, another benefit of IGH.
I don't know if anybody mentioned this, but you have to make sure your frame has horizontal dropouts. If it's a newer frame with vertical dropouts, then you'll need a chain tensioner, which somewhat detracts from the simplicity, but is not a show stopper. Also, older SA hubs came with two different axle lengths, and fitting one to a frame often involves changing the dropout spacing. This can be done on steel frames, but not aluminum or carbon. So it's not necessarily a straightforward matter of slapping one on an existing bike.
