And there's that 15-20 year old MTB design where the right chain stay attached 1/3 up the seat tube. The original intention - if I remember the marketing correctly - was to eliminate chain slap. But it'd be a good candidate for a belt conversion. I'd been watching one locked and abandoned to a street post, but the need wasn't big enough to merit the potential embarrassment of trying to force the wire w/o legal right.
