Genesis Day 01 Alfine

I'd have a stab at about 25-26lbs before mudguards and rack.

I've already jumped. I think the 8 speed is pretty good if the cogs are right. If you hang on for the 11 speed it won't be drop bar for a while (if that matters to you) and it'll be a couple of hundred quid more expensive.

List prices for the 2011 Cube Hooper Pro 11 speed is £1199 on the net - same as the 8 last year, and the year before. Might be a typo or something, and jump £200 once the bikes are on sale.

Don't care. Buying one anyway so there.

I'm torn between the Day 01 and Pompetamine Versa Pro. Not too fussed about which looks best - more interested in the reliability, comfort, speed and practicality aspects. Which would you recommend for a daily 10 mile each way, reasonably flat, commute through London?
