I had in mind a Bike Co-op Nexus for minimum fuss commuting, but my work are being difficult about using the Co-op – they have signed up to another scheme.

I am attracted by the idea of an internal hub for commuting through the gutters of the city, but what else should I consider? Probably looking at a £500 upper limit.

Cheers, dudes.

TBC – what do you have?

Cube Hyde any good for you:

£599. Bit over budget but i dont think we do anything below it.

Long term the Nexus goes a bit iffy between 4/5 (the gearing changes over at that point inside)otherwise good system.

You should blow your budget completely and get a Surly Cross Check. thanks me later!

Boardman £500 hybrid thingy, discs, 18 speed, 28c tyres, £499. GF just ordered one.

Hyde – interesting. Do you have any in stock?

nope. sorry – we can get em fast though to try – what size you thinking?

Dair – your work on Cyclescheme?

Yes – Cyclescheme. Any advice?
