Hmm. You could also try a Shimano Nexus 8 speed integral hub. You would have no derailer at all, and better gearing than a '70's 10 or 12 speed. It works well for commutes. NFI

Yep, I'm evil and dangerous and will probably die young for being so stupid as to wear earphones. I listen to lectures on my ipod while I ride. Doesn't bother the motorcycle cop running a speed...
