Forget 16mph Filey you can make those things take off.
Thanks for your advice, I ended up getting talked into one of these: BMC Alpen challenge AC02 Nexus 8
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.
I bought one of these 3 years ago for £650 - so this is a massive bargain. I'm no expert and I'm sure others will have a view on my choice, but it's been an excellent bike for me. https://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/urba...d-c30/weekender-canti-hybrid-bike-2014-p17424
Few more mirrors and it will look Ace
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.
If you sit on a bike and it feels right, it is right. There's no better standard in my view.
