Lots more thinking to do...
If you like the District and the shop is offering a deal on last year's colorway, save up for it. Otherwise, do check out the 4th and 5th Districts--you lose the belt drive, but you also gain the ability to ride fixed at some point if you so choose. Plus they cost less. And I love the '11 colors, and retro graphics.
