Commuter Project
First Prototype of the Alfine Commuter Project
   

Initial concept with Alfine gruppo, but wrong bars and no fenders, rack etc.
Prototype Alfine rear hub
Prototype #2 was built with a Speedhub and SON, but couldn't be too expensive
The A719 rims and Marathon Supremes are a bombproof combo
Detail of the SON hub, Dual Banger brake and creative fender stay arrangement
Speedhub, Dual Banger, Rotor and fender mounts make for a crowded dropout
Fenders and Albatross bars. Longer frame/shorter stem needed to cut toe overlap.
