I say yes to the IGH. I am on my second one and they are just the greatest for in town. Shimano 8 speed both times. First one the bike frame broke so no complaint about the gearing. Current one, a Linus is doing great after 4 years. I am thinking about getting a lube service sometime since the LBS guy had told me they can do it. I just love twisting the grip and getting whatever gear I like. But hey, I am 72 years old and the most important thing is to get out and ride. My Della Santa look great on the wall but it’s better for me to be on the road.
