Oh no.

Without warning I've caught the new bike bug!

This time I fancy a racy carbon frame with integrated gear system, SS is too restrictive and I don't really want another gear faffage.

Are off the shelf bike available in this config or is it an impossible ask?

I notice that OnOne are now doing the 456 in carbon..

I have a rather tired looking Yeti 575 all set to finance this latest adventure!

Chain tensioner, horizontal/sliding dropouts, eccentric bottom bracket.

Pick one!

Maybe start with this...

edit: Also, there are mixed reports of the durability of Alfine hubs for off-road use.
I was looking at the fully built version earlier, awesome value.

My off-roading these days is limited to the local forest so I should imagine Alfine would be durable enough.
