I can appreciate what your saying about gearboxes after looking into the hammerschmidt properly, however there is still the millyard bike which granted, isnt availible, but its still a step forward for gearboxes
The Millyard isn't really a stepfoward in Gearboxes
Its a step forward in terms of its Suspension Huge Pedaling Platform Ect ect
and the fact that it has a Single Swingarm and a Crazy Hub. And the fact the Chain Is Fully in-cased meaning when its behind you all you can hear is the Breath of the Rider.
So its a step forward in technology over two years.
And that's Pretty good considering its one man in his shed Vs Huge Multinational Bike Company's
