Excuse the title if it's technically incorrect but I'm after an agile bike that I can use on some trail paths at weekends, urban streets for commuting and nipping about on to avoid using London buses and I might even do the odd commute as well.
I'm just under 5'11 and don't want to use my road bike, the geometry just makes the whole experience too formal so I'm after something a bit less rigid and lighter than a MTB.
I quite like the look of the Saracen and NS DJ bikes but it would be great if they had a few gears to make pedalling 6 miles a bit easier without removing the fun of trying to hop on and off kerbs and the yoghurt pot runs in the Surrey hills.
If anyone knows anyone selling or could point me in the right direction for a reasonable new purchase that would be great.
some dirt jump bikes do have a derailleur hanger as a stock, my giant stp did, otherwose you can get an aftermarket derallieur hanger

some other bikes have the option to change the drop outs, and some options feature a derrailleur hanger they look like pic related http://chainreactioncycles.scene7.com/is/image/ChainReactionCycles/prod83581_IMGSET?wid=500&hei=505
