Ive always secretly kind of longed for one of them 'urban/commuter' type bikes with 8 speed hub gears and roller/drum brakes.
They appeal to me for a number of reasons, I guess one of them being that I simply like trying out different sorts of bikes and these remain untried. They also seem low maintenance & super practical.
But are they as awesome as I imagine?
Anybody had one?
