Can anyone educate me as to whether or not this bike (in stock condition) has a mechanical speedo drive in the front hub? I'm not seeing any indication of it either on the bike itself or when consulting the factory shop manual, but I'd like a confirmation from some of you good folks first, because I'm about to drop a bag of money on Alpina Wire Wheels and I need to make sure I order the correct one.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a speedo cable going to the left side of the wheel close to the axle?

Nope. From the looks of it, the speed sensor on my bike goes to the rear wheel on brake calliper, so it must be electronic.

As it should be. ;)
