Now one month on and the ACME is going strong. Many compliments from co-workers. Bike has a classic look to it that appeals to many folks. The belt drive is always giving my grins...so silent/smooth and working flawlessly. I no longer need to a pant clip on my ride to/from work. The disc brakes are working extremely well in the very wet conditions that are Vancouver winters.
I do have the occasional gear jump fro the Alfine 11 spd. My local bike shop made a slight cable adjustment and thinks it might be due to wet weather leading to additional drag on the cable. Apparently Shimano now sells an upgrade kit to help prevent water intrusion into the cable system. We'll see how it goes. BTW, anyone interested in these Spot brand models should take a look at RealCyclist.com...they still have few 2011 models at closeout pricing before the 2012's arrive (which should be April-ish).
