What kind of carbon frame are you thinking of? A typical road bike frame? While many do, I don't feel a road bike frame is ideal for urban stop and go riding.
I have no experience with Shimano IGHs, but I have heard that the Alfine 11 has gone Di2. I asked my shop guy about the Sturmey-Archer eight speed and he replied, “you want to get involved with that” after a long pause and advised me to stick with the three speed.
I have had great experience with the SRF3 and AW, but I am curious about the eight and 11 speed hubs.
