A friend has a Transfer. He seems to like it. It's fairly similar on paper to my Breezer Villager. The main differences are the Transfer has a generator hub, and the Villager has a standlight, loooong chainstays, a steel fork, and a chainguard. Since I haven't ridden both, I can't give a direct comparison.

I get use out of most of the Breezer's bling on a daily basis, and it would be a good bit heavier if I'd built up the same sort of bike piecewise. Judging from the comments above, the Transfer might not have as nice a design in that regard... the friend who owns it really wouldn't care much, since he rides a great deal and has a zippy bike for fun rides.

I'm really pleased with the internal hub. For my purposes (city riding, lots of stops, lots of bike/ped traffic) it's very near to ideal. There's so much inefficient on my usual routes that the minor inefficiencies of the hub just don't matter. Most time I lose is from making sure pedestrians feel safe crossing or from making sure a driver can *see* that I've stopped. For someone who doesn't deal with snow or who rides a more rural route, the hub will matter a lot more.
