An IGH Neutrino!

It seems like Mini Velos might be the next big thing, and we're here for it! Velo Orange hopped on the trend early with their Neutrino already being at its third reissue. Let's take a look at this lil' guy:

This build was well-planned by its rider, with C&L providing finishing expertise for the drivetrain and wheels. A Neutrino is a great platform for an internally-geared hub (IGH), with an easy cable run and adjustable sliding dropouts making it a smooth setup. This is a Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub, which gives a gear range of over 300%. The only tricky part for a 20-inch wheeled minivelo is getting a large enough chainring to get good high gears, but that's when you get to break out the normally-overgeared cool road bike parts, in this case a SRAM Rival crankset. Best of all it, matches the superb mechanical BB7-S disc brakes to make a pretty stylish bike which'll ride like a dream.
