Was thinking Alfine 8-speed, hydraulic discs and the option to fit a rack on the back. Can anyone give me any suggestions...please.
Canyons Commuter? You didn't mention anything regarding price so not sure what your limit is.

Oh, yes, looked at that - and it is nice, but I think my weekly shopping trip would exceed the limits of that rack, which looks to me as if it is supported by the rear mudguard.
But, hmmmm, tis a nice-looking bike.
How much? I could go to 2000 euros.
You could fit a different rack - looks like it has the proper mounts.
The joint is still on the chain stay, its just one piece instead of having a separate mudgaurd and pannier rack
I see now, the models with the integrated headlamp dont have proper mounts, while the other ones do.
Pity, I really like the look of that sleek front end.
Shopping spoils everything 🙁
In fact, that 'rack' looks to be simply an extended mudguard stay. Don't think it would affect a regular rack.
Any other ideas?
Do Trek still make the Soho? I've got two and they're fantastic.
Not seen those rack/guard things before. I quite fancy some...
Look sturdy enough (40s in).
Me too! Frickin hate wobbly mudguards! Also have problems with many racks on my commuter due to small rear triangle.
