I'm still considering the Soho 7 speed but I'm also checking out that Torker Graduate with the 5 speed. I've found the the SA 5 has almost the range of the Shimano 7. It appears to have horizontal dropouts like a BMX bike. For the price I'd add on a pair of Surly chain tensioners because the only reason I don't have an IGH ride is trying to line up the wheel when installing has always been a serious pain to me. I also like it has drum brakes as I won't have to worry about lining up brake pads and such. Drums aren't real powerful but from my experience they're plenty doable for what would be normal riding for me. Of Course the Soho 7 just seems cooler. I'm also considering a Xootr Swift too so I'll probably make up my mind sometime after they're all discontinued. I tell ya, checking out bicycles is almost as bad as porn.
