There is an 11 speed Alfine in my future... my Moulten is geared well for the local conditions but would need that wider range for more intense touring.
I have a SRAM 9 speed dual drive that will be going into my P20... I built it with 132 spacing to handle any hub.
I agree with the upright riding postion , but the fudge nike I was bidding on had bullbars on.
Did you see the tread i did on my brommie woth dahon andres stem extender and mini drops/low profiles?
