Belt drive anyone?

That’s ^^^^ a tasty-looking piece of kit!!! :coolsmiley:

Mikku:
As is this - the latest concept frame from Yess! Called the "Show Stopper", here's the blurb:-

"The Show Stopper features an “abbreviated” seat stay on the drive side of the frame and, thus, no traditional brake mounts. Disc brakes are starting to gain momentum in BMX racing, so we committed to building a disc-brake-only frame, allowing us to “abbreviate” this stay, with no separation needed to install a belt. This design helps Chain drive users as well; you don’t need to separate the chain to remove it. You can carry a spare for popular gear changes without a chain break."

Did you end up seeing the "Alpha" frame by Michael Von Sothan?

Seems like a much cleaner way for the belt to be installed.

Along with the 135 wide hub (MTB spec) so it still allows a good lacing of the wheel (stiffness)

Nah, hadn't seen it, so have just had a butcher's! I like it! :daumenhoch:
