After seeing Sheldon Brown's San Jos8 while doing research for a commuter around this time last year, I knew I had to have an IGH bike. I ended up buying a San Jose on sale at Jenson and then doing the rest myself with the help of a local bike shop in lacing the wheel. Some will say that removing the rear wheel is difficult but it truly is not - I can have the wheel off in 3 or 4 minutes. It is very different from what we all know from a traditional dérailleur but once you understand how the mechanism works its a piece of cake. I am really enjoying it and the gearing is perfect for my commute.
