Wow, all of those bikes look awesome! And the
bike is 1000$!!!
I am suprised at this as the versa shifters it uses are
229$
Also I really like that those twist shifter ends on your bike megalowmatt but why didnt you put them at the top... where the bar meets the stem?
I hear those of you who commute like crazy with your normal flat bar bikes but where I commute now there are lots of long stretches and wind (Burlington). And I would love to ride SS but there are too many massive hills here.
I had 4-speed IGH for two years, it failed. It was nice while it lasted. It was full of road crap and grinding. LBS deemed it unfixable due to labor costs. I went back to regular gears, at least I can fix them easily.
But aren't IGH supposed to be more immune to offensive material... 2 years isnt that long.
