Have a look at this one:
http://legslarry.crosswinds.net/misc/Pix5.htm - Clemens Bucher's bike on
the left. Main frame member is carbon-fibre, with the chain running inside it. Mid-drive is a 3x7
located inside the frame under the seat. Final drive runs down the left side of the bike, inside the
single-sided hollow aluminium swing-arm. It's a bit heavy, but as a commuter has few peers. Just add
a front fairing to keep the toes warm and a Novosport tailbox...
