You certainly COULD set up this bike with an IGH, but it appears to have
all the usual provisions for a rear derailleur (DT shifter boss, chainstay
cable mount).
IMO, people buy IGHs for all the wrong reasons - i.e. the mythical
no-maintenance drivetrain that tends to appeal to non-mechanical
Many people like them for the simplified shifting - no cog/chainring jumping -
plus the ability to downshift while stopped. I am one of those people. My
derailer bikes are swell, but I like my Nexus-hubbed Electra Amsterdam a lot.

I have a Civia Bryant w/ IGH. I bought it as a winter/commuter kind
of experiment. It weighs a ton, but th weight mostly disappears once
it gets rolling. Shifting takes some getting used to.
I think Grant has something other than looks in mind here, but he's
also loving the conjecture-it's
It exists, I am bewildered. I can't figure out the reason for the
assymetrical diagatubes in the rear triangle, or what those D-shaped
braze-ons are for. Discuss, people who discuss things.

I'm not completely convinced about the carry strap being a slam dunk since
the downtube thingy splits the two water bottle braze ons. If that's what
it is then you could run a strap OR a water bottle, but not both.

Actually, we see one dt shifter boss on the right side, and the D-shaped
thingy seems to block a front derailer placement. I've been expecting an
IGH bike from Rivendell..I think this is it. I assume a
cassette-plus-rear-derailer option will be available. You could made that

The Rohloff takes a dedicated dropout. Does anyone see anything like that

Grant has voiced opposition to IGHs before, and nothing about this suggests
this will be a dedicated IGH bike. This one appears to lack the Rohloff OEM
mount, as well as the ISCG tab for a Hammerschmidt crank (HS?). No anchor point
for the Schlumpf either.
The horizontal dropout with
The horizontals make me think IGH more than anything else. It's the only
Rivendell bike to have them (other than custom), which is significant.
What's he doing in there...?

I think Grant's opposition to IGH is not a current sentiment. His tastes have
evolved some in recent years, and IGH has grown immensely in popularity in that
time as well.
