13 miles each way is fine on a singlespeed/fixed wheel bicycles as I commute the same amount of mileage (used to) so you don't necessary need to have an internal gear bicycle.
Given the cost of the Alfine, the wheelbuild and it's shifter, wouldn't it be better to sell the Plug, add a bit more money and get the Tap (or the disc brake Mixer)?
