Attractive bike from ten feet away. But where am I going to put it?





Some shots of the welds and drivetrain. (And the VTech Go Go Smart Wheels Ultimate Amazement park in the background)

The welds are typical inexpensive aluminum bike stuff, it doesn't look much different from my Hardrock.

The belt is not a Gates and not a center drive like a Gates, but instead the conventional toothed timing belt type. The pulleys each have one side open - the front has the flange on the outside and the back has the flange on the inside. The rear end includes tensioners with a built in roller. (The roller keeps the belt from skipping under high torque that would unload the lower side tension.) The belt feels pretty tight.
