Just have to have frames that would accomodate the belt. It would need either elevated chainstays or dropouts that could be unbolted from the stays to get the belt mounted.

Most folks lock onto the 2-3% energy loss over chain drive. However, this amounts to something on the order of 0.5% total loss overall, since frictional losses are only a small part of energy expenditures on a road bike.
