good (I have one).On this subject. Does anyone know of an alternative to the Subway 8
that is around that price? [1]
Cannondale do a 'Street Nexus' which uses the same hub, but needless to
say it's twice the price of Halfords own-brand. To be fair, it also has
the 'road optimised' version of the Headshock suspension fork.
Ridgeback apparently have something called a 'Nemesis' (I kid you not)
at £450 <URL:http://www.ridgebackbikes.co.uk/bikes/bike.asp?bikeID=117>
- mechanically similar to the Subway but without mudguards. Still,
plenty of mudguard clearance. Or a Neutron, at the same price, which
includes the Nexus dynohub (but V brakes not hub brakes), which is
probably a better buy
