Who doesn't read EcoVelo?! Turns-out, I put my build order in to the LBS back in early May, when Alan was running the off-the-shelf Alfine 8, first-generation-Gates, and the drop bars. I test rode the Kingfield, and knew it was close to my perfect commuter, but that over the next few years I would essentially upgrade everything on the bike. I got home, told my partner, and got my favorite line in response: "Just get what you WANT, so I don't have to listen to you complaining about it for the next five years!" If you can believe it, I waited over three months for the CenterTrack belt components. Now, I get to see if it was worth the wait! I will post more on the bike when I have some free time this weekend.
