Came across a Rizoma 77|011 that was on display in Selfridges on the weekend - SO much want !!

Beautifully made and the attention to detail is just on a different level.

Just out of interest does anyone know how you change a rear puncture with the carbon fibre belt drive..??!!

Rear wheel removal same as many single speed bikes. Loosen rear axle, slacken belt and drop off, then remove wheel.

Must admit, I've always thought every bike I've ever owned would be so much better without a seat tube. In fact, the non-drive side chainstay is starting to get on my tits a bit too...

Excuse the slight sarcasm but "why"? It looks ugly, and everything screams "nooooooo" both from an engineering and cycling stiffness/efficiency point of view.

You can keep it...

Must admit my first reaction is style over substance, but if it makes you happy, why not?

I can't see how you get the belt off. Normally gates' drives require a break in the rear triangle so you can get the belt through - can't see anywhere where you can do that though.
