I'm much too lazy to waste energy on internal

Now that's the sort of cyclist I like hearing about. Though I don't
quite see how an IGH would "waste" your energy. A Rohloff, for
instance, has 14 evenly spaced gears, a fat range, and an instant
change, through several gears in an instant, if you wish. Oh, and the
Rohloff is definitely more efficient than a dirty chain and
derailleur, according to reliable German tests.
Me, I'd keep my dérailleur clean and solve that problem. Save some
weight as well.
And a TON of money.
