My suggestions.
406 wheels, IGH, adjustable and split dropouts to eliminate chain tensioner and allow belt-drive.
Rohloff capable.
Choice of disc and rim brakes.
Fittings for fenders and racks.
Titanium frame in the future?
OK, we now have a design to accommodate 406 wheels (with up to 2" tires), and IGH (using an eccentric bottom bracket for tensioning), belt drive, hydraulic disc brakes (my personal preference), chromoly steel, and mounts for rear rack and fenders. We are going to make a prototype as soon as we can. It make a little time since we aren't used to dealing with an IGH.
Now, what would you estimate to be a price point for a setup like this?
