If first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.

Wowzers.

Only the rich hipsters are going to be able to afford that.

It does look nice though.

it is a single speed bike. It would be cooler if it would shift with the belt.

I'm sure it does with an internal hub gear thing.

If they made that geared I'd be all over it, and if it were 1500 dollars.

Do they make internally geared hubs for belts?

PS- Trek finally made their track bike in a different color other than Red. 5 years late but finally.
