Looks like the Metropolitan chain drive as an export to Peter White Etc.
was closed out, and remnant stock discounted as a result.. down to 600$ frame and fork

New Metropolitan Xplore looks like they improved the interface of the Pinion Mid drive gearbox
to make a belt tensioner (as if still an Eccentric BB), by making the whole gear box move
in adjustment by sliding the whole thing forward in the frame ..

Germany Vs Asia TW/ROC .. low wages win if the cost is all you want.
