You certainly COULD set up this bike with an IGH, but it appears to have 
all the usual provisions for a rear derailleur (DT shifter boss, chainstay 
cable mount). 

IMO, people buy IGHs for all the wrong reasons - i.e. the mythical 
"no-maintenance drivetrain" that tends to appeal to non-mechanical persons. 
The truth is closer to the drivetrain not being low-maintenance, as much as 
it's generally unmaintainable, since small parts are generally nonexistent 
for all but a few hub models. Also, they tend to complicate routine fixes, 
like flat tires. Grant doesn't seem to like unmaintainable stuff.
