Sate my curiosity, which belt drive did you go for. Santos? Woodrup?

SPOT Brand "ACME". (Sideways Cycles of Alsager are UK distributer)
(Or as one wag put it "What do you polish it with, Clearasil" ?)

A silent ride - almost ethereal - on smooth roads.  Originally would have preferred a Rohloff but the 11 speed Shimano is much quieter.
The polished aluminium frame is a work of art.
All I need now is a new body to match it ! ;D
