The PUBLIC V7i is a city and commuter bike built around a Shimano Nexus 7-speed internally geared rear hub. The gears sit sealed inside the hub, so they shift while you are stopped and need far less upkeep than an exposed derailleur. Polished fenders, an alloy chain guard and dual-pivot brakes round it out for daily riding in wet or gritty conditions. It is a low-maintenance, upright city bike rather than a fast or light one, and it competes with other internally geared commuters on simplicity and durability.
