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.

You do know that the belt drive piece can be put on other wheels....
