And about that "saw your chainstays from your seatstays comment above" I am really surprised that there is even one person that will actually do that. Scary.
If someone really wanted to upgrade their ride to have a belt drive, they would have little choice.
I agree, it's crazy, and I have no idea why anyone would do this.
To me, the chain is a more elegant solution. A frame built to accommodate a belt drive, to me, seems a more cluttered solution.
