We're watching for it as well -- bullets in a press release, not so sexy as spy photos. You pipped Bike Hugger on the coverage!

At Interbike we will have photos of all the Civia models. As for the Alfina, I don't know enough about it or first hand experience to speak. Can anyone else chime in? Stuart,

As for the Alfina, I don’t know enough about it or first hand experience to speak. Can anyone else chime in?

That Hyland they sell sure looks nice. I have read some complaints about the 8 speed Alfina internal hub, though. In contrast to the normal 8 speed hub, the Alfina has to be shifted through each gear just like a derailer, so no switching from 9th gear straight to first gear. Is my source (A to B magazne) wrong on this? How about some pictures? That Hyland they sell sure looks nice. I have read some complaints about the 8 speed Alfina internal hub, though.
