i think i'm getting over my lust for exotics. titanium is awesome, but the frame i'm looking for is so specific that the only way to obtain it in titanium seems to be to roll the dice on some chinese fabricator that i know absolutely nothing about or have it custom built state-side for a bazillion dollars. i don't like either of those options.

the Spot Brand Acme has everything i'm looking for (belt drive, disc brakes, alfine 11, full fender compatibility, and sliders vs. EBB) except it's aluminum instead of titanium, so it'll be an extra couple pounds. i gotta remember, i'm looking for a foul-weather commuter bike not a race bike; a couple extra frame pounds are going to cost me maybe 15 seconds at most along my commute route.

i'm gonna go test ride a Spot Acme this weekend to see how i like it, and hopefully i can say goodbye to my scott SUB 10 and it's incorrigible EBB forever.

anyone here familiar with Spot Brand belt drive bikes?
