[1] Cannondale do a 'Street Nexus' which uses the same hub, but needless to say it's twice the price of Halfords own-brand. To be fair, it also has the 'road optimised' version of the Headshock suspension fork. Ridgeback apparently have something called a 'Nemesis' (I kid you not) at £450 <URL:http://www.ridgebackbikes.co.uk/bikes/bike.asp?bikeID=117> - mechanically similar to the Subway but without mudguards. Still, plenty of mudguard clearance. Or a Neutron, at the same price, which includes the Nexus dynohub (but V brakes not hub brakes), which is probably a better buy <URL:http://www.ridgebackbikes.co.uk/bikes/bike.asp?bikeID=122>. -- simon@jasmine.org.uk (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; this is not a .sig |
