If you want to go a little wacky over it, you can design bike frames for belt drive systems that don’t require that the frame come apart to install/remove the belt. They just look a bit odd.

(Well, the right-side chain stay does, anyway.)

So are we ever going to see a photo of that boxed bike assembled?

I live in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Here we have great bike artisan that try to survive, we have a bike culture (race, fixie, commute, ect), we don’t need that chinese piece of junk.

Begin by supporting your local bike builders and be pround of your local workers in any domain.

Do not buy made in China.

Judging by those brakes, drop bars and skinny little tires, I’m guessing it’ll be a performance machine based on an IGH. If it is, It would be pretty cool.

I don’t like the idea of a belt drive. As an engineer I don’t like the idea of a frame that comes apart…just doesn’t seem right! Different (pedal) strokes for different folks though.

Thanks guys. I had read just enough customer reviews complaining about different IGHs that I was worried.

The 3 spds look like enough gearing for me as I only have that one “hill” to deal with and I’m not too broken down yet to stand and crank it out.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand: A belt driven IGH under 1K would be a real coup for Dynamic.

Although I’m not all that heavy (170 after dinner), I recommend the old Shimano3-3-3 three-speed hub for commuting. I’ve got them on several of my bikes and they shift beautifully every time. Some of these hubs are at least 35 years old, and still work perfectly. If you can get by with a three speed, that’s one I’d go for.
