not to rain on your parade, but generally speaking: kind of sucks that the rohloff, for what it costs and for what it is (the nicest IGH there is that i know of) is only compatible with a twist shifter.

About 14 kg (31 lbs). Stripping it down might save 1-1/2 or 2 kg, not sure. Salsa claims that their complete Casseroll Triple weighs 23.5 lbs.
Everytime I want to build up a bike of this style, the weight thing is what makes me hesitate. My old 60cm steel (531) bike weighs less than 22 lbs. and it's hard to accept the idea of having more weight for the kind of riding I do, road riding with lots of hills (not commuting or city riding). But I'll have to give it a try someday!

Ideally I would like the shifter on my drop bars, but I'm not comfortable with two-piece handlebars.

two questions. 1. How much did it cost to go disc brakes? Also are yours mechanical or hydraulic? 2. The dynamo front hub charges the lights correct? How much to get one and how do you install?

Deciding where I was going to mount my shifter plagued me for quite some time. Because I converted my front brakes to disc at the same time, I cut the steering tube a little bit longer and mounted a MTB stem underneath the main stem. Thus I can stand and climb without smashing my knee into the shifter.

There was also a thread awhile back where some shop figured out how to set up a barcon shifter and Problem Solvers pulley to work a Nexus hub.

- Fork with disc tabs. The one I used is currently on sale for $140.
- Disc hub. The dynamo hub is about $80, but you can get an entry-level non-dyno front disc hub for $20.
- Disc brake & rotor. You can get the Avid BB7 for about $60, including rotor. It's mechanical. I also had to get a rotor adapter since the Shimano dynamo hub is centerlock ($20).
In addition, depending on how handy you are, you'll need to pay for some LBS labor. Rebuilding the front wheel with the new hub could be $20-$40, and they'll have to transfer some headset components to the new fork. If you have them do the whole install for you, I'd guess it would be in the $75 range.
Regarding the dynamo hub specifically, again, it involves a wheel rebuild, then there are the cable runs for the lights which aren't much more complicated than cabling for a cyclocomputer.
Happy shopping!

i guess that isn't too bad then - im guessing it is near the top end of the production models.
would probably not go for the expensive hub, but a cheaper one, however i do want a shifter on the handlebars.
does anyone know where i can find those two part handlebars in the UK?

Regarding the bars, I think they're made to order by the company in Germany only. At least that was the impression I got when I called them to ask about availability.

I can't remember what the cost of the bar was exactly but it seemed very reasonable.
Shipping costs might be painful though.
