Right okay.

All to be based around a 120mm fork, 8 speed Alfine, Thomson gear.

All are about the same price give or take a few ££

All three different materials.

Bike to be used as an all weather bike for general flat land mincing 😛

So .....

➡ Singular Hummingbird (L) £260

I have thought that my c456 would be good with hub gears because the rear is really light.

Rode wiyh a bloke with a rohloff on one and he said the weight distribution was fine.

Singular cos it looks awesome.

456 looks good and fast and I would have this, but not with an Alfine.

I dont really like the Chumba

And for balance, not the Singular. Gross paint, crap decals/logo.

Chumba, fantastic frames. I've had 2 HX1s, the old and the new version and the new is really comfy for an alu frame.

Very long, loads of standover, immaculate finish and very versatile - if you want to stick some 160s on at a later date and chuck it down gnarlier stuff then you can.

How about one of the 853 pipedreams with adjustable dropouts?

Had a Pipedream for a while - didn't really get on with it.
