Paketa no 2 at NAHBS. An all belt single speed. Paketa also does an all belt touring tandem on a roloff hub. This is the around town cruiser. 24# using standard bars and brakes and wheels. Given a higher end compeonent selection this cold be under 20#. As is it's just for fun. Day one this was at the paketa booth. By satruday it had moved to the gates booth as shot here to mark their slogan, "no chains".
Note an intersting detail: Paketa always uses bolt on steel drop outs including a derailure hanger. Here the right drop out is tapped with 4 bolts and serves as the connection between the gracefully split stays to allow the installation and/or chaning of the rear belt.
