Need it big (6'6) and would like to have an alfine hub if possible.
My budget is 500gbp and as such will be looking for second hand or old models.

I like the looks of things like Charge scourer/mixer/grater, Genesis Day one, surly long haul trucker but cant find them in the price/size I'm after.

Ideally with disc brakes, rigid front, 8/11 alfine and not weigh as much as a bus!

Anything else I should look at?

Full bike, with Alfine, for £500...probably a tall order. 😕

TBH, I'd just buy a new Carrerra Subway & ride it to death or build a cheap 29er Inbred.

Gutted - I no longer commute via bike to work and have a charge mixer (well looked after) with mud guards and 8 speed Alfine hub sitting around needing a new home but its a size medium! Any one interested? £250 Leeds area....
