Di2/Alfine bike

OK, I just saw this review:

http://www.joe-bike.com/tess-reviews-norco-indie-drop-including-di2alfine-11/

Let's see. Internally-geared hub. Electronic Shifting. Disk brakes. Yet it somehow manages to seem a very cool combination!

May be an interesting bike

But I couldn't get beyond the third paragraph of Tess's prose. At "post-carbonfibercowboy" it was time to go.

Wasn't that a song by Glen Campbell?

Saw that

Yeah, I think she's referring to the shape of the thing, with the heavily-dropped top tube.

"integrate Di2 electronic shifting with the 11-speed internally geared hub"

"Indie Drop Alfine - $2865 CAD" not 2300.00 BTW

I like the concept totally...

Except aren't the hubs sensitive to being shifted while pedals and risk damage doing so? Or was the the earlier versions?
