So, i was looking through the classifieds today and saw an ad, here is what it says-
"Schwinn MTN bike, new $2000, Asking $200" Is there actually a Schiwnn MTB that retails for $2000?? :S

Yea Schwinn do make good bikes in the states I believe. Kinda like Iron Horse and there crappy bikes and there good ones, except more drastic.

well we can now, by finding out how much it will cost to get me a rohloff!! because i cant find out since i dont know anything about it...

It's £900 here, so over there you will be paying around $1800. Maybe $200-$300 less with online discount.

That would be a gravity bike then, defying the whole point, Maybe just ask Mr. Nicolai to cut up your frame and put in his gearbox.

Sometimes, but not exponentially.

But if you run a short cage RD then you have to get a smaller cassette in most cases, since a short cage can only handle up to a 32 tooth.
