I had to look that up. Never heard of it. I guess you're talking about Paul Blackthorne. Yes, I see the resemblance. I've also been told I look like Christopher Meloni. I now have an enormous mustache, so I really ought to post a recent picture.

OK, I'm a luddite, and I should open my mind. I'll take a look at the belt drive when it comes out. I'm not convinced there's a problem that it solves, but I could be wrong.

As I understand it, the chain is already very efficient. It is dirty, though, and some people forget to oil it adequately. The belt could be cleaner and lighter.
