paulcycles replied to Legacy Frameworks's discussion 'Belt Drive Perception'"I still have a 1974ish Panasonic folder that uses a belt, very similar to the Gates product.

It seems that the ultimate touring/commuter drivetrain would be a Gates carbon drive belt coupled with a Rohloff 14 speed hub. I've seen the Co-Motion Pangea and the Americano, both of…"
