[MENTION=365305]kickstart[/MENTION], props on that gorgeous bike!

OP, there's a reason why riding an external geared bike for transportation is limited to the English speaking world and even at that mostly just the U.S. Everyone else rides IGH bikes with a chaincase. There was a brief period around the early 2000's when you'd see a bunch of folks, even in The Netherlands and Copenhagen, riding flat bar hybrid bikes with external gears but that didn't last long and they've pretty much disappeared (though still popular for recreation and off-road stuff)
