Title: Nomad in Chester UK
Post by: in4 on August 26, 2025, 03:50:05 PM

Spotted in Chester UK. Much loved!
 Note the derailleur as the owner had fitted a motor so no EBB. S&S couplings.
Great guy to talk with.

Well used saddle!

A problem of fitting hub emotors is that they usually have 10mm spindles which means that dropouts are filed out….

Is that a mid-drive motor and an IGH?

Ah yes, my mistake - rohloff IHG and mid drive motor - looking at the photo unopened I thought derailleur gears

Yes, it is. He fitted it himself and found drilling the tubing quite tough. I know nothing about the subject but perhaps when decrepitude sets in I’d be very tempted to have one fitted.
