Should be a two speed....well actually more correctly put a single speed with an overdrive or underdrive? Depending on which is the direct drive!... Bombproof...gives same result as a front derailleur but with out any faff. Really want one of these....damn I hate being skint! That bike is quite a tool...anyone want a pickled kidney?
Yes, Six-speed derailleur, drum-brake and two-speed hub-gear all built into one wheel. You should be able to change the two-speed when the bike is not moving, which is useful on a city-bike. The drum-brake shoes should last for many thousands of miles without maintenance.
I have a feeling a geared hub/drum and derailleur set up might have to be a project sometime soon. I really like the neatness of a bike when the business stuff is all in one place! I will certainly be looking at Sachs....
