Nice bike! I would love an internal hub.

just wanted to say congrats on the bike. It looks great for commuting. How do you like those grips? I have been looking at something like those to upgrade my mtn bike.

Happy riding.

Red Rock, I like the grips on my commuter bike but won't put it on my mtb. For some reason, I feel more in control with a smaller grip, especially in technical areas. Hubby, on the other hand, prefers them. All I can say is give it a whirl. I do have something I highly recommend--Cane Creek bar ends. These babies are super sticky and will not gouge you when you fall.

Mimi, you would really like how quiet and smooth this hub is. You'll have to try one.

I really loved that design when I saw it for a ready to go (lights, racks, fenders) city bike. Enjoy!

I gotta get me a dynamo hub.
