    I've not experienced them, but alfine's get really good reviews. Some people get put off as it's 'only' eight gears, but when you work out the ratios, a 21 speed can effectively be 'only' eight speeds too.

    Sounds to me like you've made a good choice. <ok>

    And a silvered finish, a bullseye and a tall antenna with a furry tail flying from it. Presumably he already has an original fish-tailed Parka to keep his Harrington jacket dry on inclement days.

    I'm old school so would have gone with traditional rear derailleur. I've heard mixed reviews with the Alfine rear hub. Mainly being a much heavier rear wheel and probably pricey if faulty. Be interesting to see how you get on with it.
