This is how I got my Rohloff. I bought an ex demo 2008 Badboy Rohloff on eBay in '08, in perfect condition. The frame has long since passed away, the headshok before that even, however the Rohloff is still going strong. I now run it on a long travel hardtail, and have taken it to the Alps on a few occasions. I did Passport du Soleil with it in '12. I don't really track mileage on this bike, however I doubt the hub has under 20'000km on it. It's had I think 4 oil changes in that time, it's now on its 2nd sprocket, 2nd set of cables, and 3rd chain. Totally bomb proof.
Cannondale used to do them. In fact, if you watch eBay, picking one up used is one of the cheapest ways into Rohloff-land.
But ya not many OTPs come Rohloff equipped outside of the motherland.
Why not get Talbot Matt to make you something nice?
@ⒷⓆ I think you might have missed my point
