Excellent suggestion (I believe that you are referring to the District Carbon) with 2 major drawbacks...
1) I would rather like to use my new wheels (which are not in fact the orange deep-v's mentioned above, but are almost as lovely in my opinion). I'd either have to figure out a whole new drivetrain or find a belt drive freewheel that fitted. They may well do that (not the world's greatest expert on belt-drives), but...
2) It retails at over $3,600. People may well say that a fool and my money are easily parted, but even I have my limits. The Felt is less than half that and sort of do-able, assuming I wanted to drink cheap beer for a while. The trek would mean a divorce. And then I would be riding half a bike.
