Other than the pompetamine and the crois de fer, what alfine road bikes are out there?
Does anyone ride one and how do you get on with the 8 speed.
I'm interested in getting one for commuting year round, the 10 or so occasions when I actually use my winter road bike which includes rides upto 80 miles and a few chaingangs. My winter road bike needs some money spent on it to bring it up to a decent standard as it'd getting old and I'd like to reduce the bikes I own. Would it be relatively easy to swap an alfine bike to a singlespeed wheel for summer commuting duties. It would get me more use out of the more expensive hub (I assume) if I didn't use it for 7 months of the year. Current commuter is a singlespeed and I like the simplicity and reliability.
