Good luck! You'll need it. Electronic shifting will bring new meaning to the term "mechanical". | ||

Sound great, but my kneecap still throbs from childhood encounters with my lamphanger after a 'sturmey archer slip' so I'm a bit suspicious as yet.
T/t, home made electrical shifting? Make sure you take your mobile and a good taxi number on the test rides! That's serious tinkering - chapeu!

I want to try it.
Weight doesn't matter in the kind of riding I do. |

| Bartali |
Weight ALWAYS matters

I'm already fat, and ride with water, maps, books, spare tubes, a pump, and I take on several pints before turning around. |

| Bartali |
That's exactly why you need lightweight hubs Jackov

| grrr |
look at this one.
my god it's gorgeous! http://uk.batavus.com/fiets/bike....;collection=1&bikeGroupId=714 sadly 1000 euros, which is a bit steep for a runabout although Bartali would probably pay more than that for a couple of hubs

Rolling resistance matters more... |
