Alfine might be a better idea if your budget is low.
Rohloff hub and shifter new is over £1.5k

Yeah, i'm not after anything special as such. I can buy the rohloff at trade from ISON but would like to find a bargain out there. My eyes are peeled

If you're stretching your budget, you'll be disappointed
because nice quality shimano is lighter, smoother, more efficient, more balanced,
And the rohloff shift is just plain nasty.

Don't tell any of the Rohloff brigade I said that though.

Our customers who have bought rohloff (its quite a few) are primarily Consultants and sell the bike on after a couple of years and return to derailleur shifting.

As a utility piece it's great,
but it's not utility price.

is there an easy way to set an account up? I had one before but now i can't login due to my UK mob number.

I was able to set up one from the Netherlands. I used my mobile number with the international prefix.

Rohloffs are very reliable and impervious to weather conditions compared to a Shimano setup. It has its fans.

I have looked at building the Rohloff into a standard frame and it is complicated. You need a torque arm, a chain tensioner and ideally an EX shiftbox. It is what put me off from buying one for my Vittorio.

A good looking Rohloff hub Thorn Raven in Weston-Super-Mare £600, I have bikes with both Alfine 11 and Rohloff and would say the Alfine is perfectly good for nearly all occasions and arguably better value for money but the rohloff has a justifiable reputation for longevity.
