While the Rohloff is a brilliant piece of German engineering, the price for the hub is still a bit of sticker shock for most folks.
Yes, you can avoid derailleurs and $TI shifters but it tends to limit you (as is) to 14 gear selections. You also need a modfied rear triangle to adapt the Rohloff and there likelly is an upcharge for that. There is/was an issue of fitting the shifter on drop bars.
Most folks now are drooling over Gates belts, 10 and 11 speed ca$$ettes and darn few are even dreaming of Di2.
Rohloff has it followers/adherents but this is a low number production hub. You'll not fnd (m)any at your local bike shop.
Pedal on!
