Too bad Ori doesn't offer the M/C with a gear hub. The Mi8 City seems to have gone. Gear hubs make a lot more sense than a derailleur for city bikes.
I totally agree with you. It was more of a "better wait until I have money to spend" thing... since I am about to become a commuter in London, it would be nice to get rid of the derailleur for when the moist/sticky seasons come. It is all sunny now, so no big deal... let's see how it is going to behave when the ****ty weather returns.
