Hello. I live in the Alaskan Bush. The roads out here can be thought of as large nature trails. There is one paved road, spanning about ten miles. I've had three Chinese made bikes in the last three years, and they've all broke. For next year, I'm considering this American-made bike by Delta Cycles. (http://www.deltacycle.com/product.php?g=69&i=161) It is belt-driven. All the chained bikes I've had get very sandy in the dry Alaskan summer.

Would this be recommended? (Again, think of the roads I bike on as larger nature trails.)
