The brommi (8Spd IGH) does not give this "lined up" feeling. The only time I got a similar feeling was from riding a Moulton (dérailleur). Is that effectiveness? I tried Schlumpf Carryme dual speed for a short ride at the exhibition: the second gear was too high but I also had the impression of less directness, perhaps that was the same feeling makeinu refers to.
My sentiment exactly.
