I bought one recently from bikefix, they have stopped selling the velosteel and have started selling a ventura one as they believe it was more quiet. Seems very bad build quality as you have pointed out, so much so that is is concerning having to pay for a wheel to be built around something so shoddy. Anyway, the missus wants a rear coaster brake on a 26 x 1 3/8" wheel so I'll give it a go and see how it is.
