Recommend an Alfine hubbed bike pls!

In an attempt to get this thread back on track; Intec make a 29er frame for hub gears, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg and it fits the bill.

That looks great and like it fits the bill maybe with a suspension fork.

Consideration to fixing a puncture is a good point, hopefully running tubeless would mitigate this.

I’ll pass it on!

From my own experience, you may need to bring a wrench, but then fixing a flat shouldn't be much harder. I am not sure the Intec is appropriate for a suspension fork, but I could be wrong.

I'm interested to hear any experience or options to retrofitting a geared hub to (something like) an early 80s roadbike frame - If I wanted to give it a go myself what would I have to look for? I'm guessing things like width of dropouts and that I need a hub that will work with rim brakes etc, what else?
