I don't "like" IGH...I LOVE THEM

I currently own and ride 4 on a regular basis and 2-3 of my project bikes are planned as IGH. FWIW all I have are the old Sturmey Archer and one old Shimano 3 speed hub. The project bikes include a Sturmey Archer 4 speed from the 50's and a most likely a brand new Sturmey Archer 5 speed with drum brake.
