Brad’s is a top end bike for getting around town, for comfortably carrying whatever needs to be taken, and is meant to be low maintenance for year-round riding. It was designed for comfort and function. It has the Rohloff 14 speed disc "Speedhub" in the rear, and the Schmidt disc front generator hub, with the rack mounted front light. This is a very clean, understated design. I particularly like the cable routing to the rear hub. It runs under the bottom bracket and sneaks through the kick-stand mounting plate, then sits neatly between the split chain stays before opening out to the hub; it's nearly invisible.
