    The internal gearing of the hub.
    Sturmey-Archer is the classic. Shimano has the Alfine and Nexus. My mom's folder has a nice internal set up. My recumbent had an internal hub, too.

    ETA: link to Sheldon's internal gears page http://sheldonbrown.com/internal-gears.html I love the picture of the guts of an internal gear hub! Nightmare!

    Question!

    I keep seeing "Venture" mixtes in my local craigslist and I can't find anything about Venture on the net - anyone heard of them/know anything?

    I haven't posted here for quite some time but I do lurk here and there. But I simply had to post my finally complete mixte (well, almost, still pondering fenders.)

    I'm super happy with her. She rides like a dream! The basket is a Wald basket that we added wooden slats to, stained to match the seat and grips.
    I've got another one in process so I'll post pics of it in a couple of weeks when it's done.

    Wow, that looks great! I thought about putting slats in my basket too. I have the same one, only I took off the handlebar stuff and put it in the back on my rack. What kind of wood did you use and how did you attach it?

    I thought about doing that. LOL!.

    I used a piece of 1/4" oak trim, cut it equal widths and then cut two small strips for the underside. The bolts anchor to the strips. My husband did the cutting for me, becuase I have an irrational fear of power tools

    Small pieces on the underside. I can kind of see them. Makes perfect sense! thanks!
