an LBS has a Civia Bryant Belt in my size for about half off of MSRP. I'm really tempted.

I already have a Trek Soho with a belt drive, so it might seem puzzling to want another one, but the Soho has three problems:
1. flat bar with trigger shifters (wears on my thumb, can't lean down)
2. all aluminum frame/fork helps you feel every bump
3. drum brakes suck rocks

The Bryant promises to fix these problems with drop bars, brifters, cromoly frame, and disc brakes. Sounds wonderful.

Two things hold me up:
1. I hear that the BB5 disc brakes are not the best. I assume I could just buy a BB7 front brake and swap it, right?
2. Still not in love with the process of changing a rear flat, though I suppose I could throw a Marathon Plus on the back and not worry about it.

Any Bryant owners care to comment?
