Heh, look elsewhere in this thread and I ALMOST bought an Acme but bought a Ghost instead, and had issues with the Continental belt drive (even before it snapped, it squeaked every time it got remotely dirty).
I don't know about the Conti belt but the Gates has been rock solid since they introduced the center track guide. The first wave did have some problems unless the pullies had guides, they could slide off.
For what it is, I love it, it's not a racing bike though. I'm curious about the mtb uses with a Rohloff hub, it's a fair amount of weight.

Are bicyles a fashion statement, or what?
