Liked the look of the Pompetamine Versa but can't find it on the On-One website. The Day-One looks perfect but is too expensive. Is there anything else out there at around a grand or less? Would only be able to get it if I set up a bike to work scheme. Want something that will tackle light off road, potholed country lanes and not eat it's own drivechain.
On-one were doing the 8-speed Alfine Pomp with mech. BB7s for £599 - add versa & drops for £200, leaving you change for 'guards?
Cotic roadrat?
The Planet x Kaffenback is an option.
I've been hovering over the buy button these past few days...
I put a roadrat with drops and alfine together for under 1000
But only cause i scored a cheap versa set up.
Bought the flat bar model on c2w and fitted a short stem and bars o suit

Blimey that Day One is in my size and a massive bargain. But I don't have the money right now 🙁
Is the Roadrat OK with drops, not too twitchy with a short stem?
That On-one looks good too, and thanks I hadn't spotted the Kaffenback.
So I have a few options, just need to look into setting up the C2W scheme now.
Cheers all, and more suggestions welcomed!
Recent anecdote on Day One - [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40052&t=12895919 ]Clicky[/url] - make of it what you will.
Conclusion: numpty can't get hub gears to work and blames bike...
Sorry drlex but 2 setups the same in our house
Only thing i will say is madison supply their dayone alfines with terrible cabling .... The grey stufff.
Replaced jaynes wi sp41 throughout after about 2 weeks as she complained about slippage of gears and i couldnt ge tit to stop
Change cable , jobs done.
Parker do reels of the stuff cheap.
No problem, trail_rat - it's likely that your cabling solution would help. Just offered it as another data point- I have a S/H pomp with flat bars & 11 speed Alfine and it's been a joy in the year since I bought it. Only downside was the stupid cost of the Shimano oil, so bought Rohloff cleaning kit to reduce the amount required.
