This is Van Dessel’s Buzz Bomb (The original model) oufitted with Shimano’s Nexus 7 speed internally geared hub.
This is an AWESOME BIKE! I’m very sorry it has to go, but I need the space. This is one of the coolest mountain bikes you will ever ride. The seven speed hub with a straight run chain is perfect for off-road. I have it geared for flat single track now (I think it’s like a 38t in the front). The seven speed hub has slightly smaller overall range in gears but has the best ratio difference between gears; like I said, perfect for off road up-to-downhill changes in terrain.
Here’s the technical breakdown of the hubs ranges:
The overall range is 244%, in jumps of:
1st
17.2%
2nd
13.8%
3rd
17.3%
4th
15.8%
5th
16.6%
6th
15.7%
7th
The hub is bombproof, it’s rated at something like 300-some foot pounds of torque, way more the we can put out of our legs. I personally never had any trouble at all with the hub (it was always serviced, cleaned, and maintained). It’s been perfect. By the way, the hub and straight chain weigh about the same as a standard nine speed drivetrain.
Enough about the drivetrain, The frame is even cooler. This frame is super quick with this build group. I used it mostly for single track because that’s what I had in my area, so i know it’s awesome for that. The frame is made of 7005 double butted alluminum, replaceable/adjustable rear dropouts w/disc mounts. There is no derailleur hanger on these dropouts, although I think those dropouts are available. The frame has all the cable guides built in for the Rohloff hub if your looking to change it out. The compact geometry measures as follows:
Seat tube: about 16inches
Top Tube: about 20.5inches
The frame doesn’t state what size it is, never did, but I’m pretty sure it’s a medium. It has a 130mm stem on it and a super long alloy seatpost, so up to a 6ft guy can ride this bike.
***There was no information online anywhere on this specific model as far as I could tell (I searched for quite a while), So I physically called Van Dessel Sports and talked to a guy. I explained what I measured off the frame and he told me it is a medium frame. ***
There are about 1000 miles on this bicycle -This bike is beautiful. It is super clean, always has been, wasn’t ever ridden hard and believe it or not, this bike has never seen water, if the trails were muddy, I didn’t take it out…it was that simple.
This is a hyperlink to some testomonials of this bicycle with the Rohloff hub. The hub on the bike in this auction is very similar, bombproof, and a lot less expensive.
