not quite the same purpose, but get where you are going... sometimes a beefy frame and 26" 2.0 tires feel just the way they should. as I have a fixed 26" wheelset and a spare disc brake I might just get some cranks and build this up untill the Alfine 11 dreams and some nice brakes come true (really dig the shimano zee for this option and don´t really care about weight). all of this is on hold currently, which makes me nervous.
