Hey guys thanks for those corrections, i seemed to have read the wrong Name and been misinformed about a few things. Strange that about the range, i guess someone told me something incorrect.

@ Yan, the Sturmey Archer sounds great, Sun Race def. has made some innovative things in the past. Plus i also love old skool Sturmey Archer 3 speeds they can outlast almost anything. The price/quality ratio on the Downtube is second to none and i am very glad to hear it will probably remain so.

About you guys working on a Brompton -esque type bike, if it is efficient and/or 20 inch, i am buying it! Perhaps the Go Bike may be an interesting bike to analyze as well as the Brompton. They both have some very nice folding mechanisms and innovations but both suffer from non-standardization in my view.

Another thing i have only heard: the Next generation Nexus will dispense with the Clickbox, what S-Ram will do i don't know. I must admit to possibly being a bit biased. I have a 6 month old 3 speed Nexus Unit that has given me more trouble than some 10 or 15 year SA's. But i really think it is a freak occurence, as people have advised, me i don't tinker with the Nexus myself (usually people do more damage that way, but i wish i could) but am letting the LBS that sold it to me handle it instead. They are cool so i am convinved they'll do good by me. Also soon i am getting new wheel with great rim, S-Ram 7 and SS spokes. The 20 inch wheel to end all wheels to speak.
