The Alfine 11 IGH would be my first choice for the bike, local shops don't seem to carry much in the way of belt drive except the main-stream big brands....yes, I would consider mail order....what are you thinking..do you know a shop that either carries a brand the has the Alfine 11 or would build a bike up to my needs....I have ridden many different geometries over the years and I'm not too picky as long as the fit is right and I do basically know what measurements work and don't work....

Thanks,
