I'm ambivalence presonified over it 😐

However,

With belt drive the numbers (55/22) do not translate to work out gear ratio in the same way as you would for a chain drivetrain

Eh ? This true ?

No one else have an opinion??? I was sure that someone who hadn't ridden it would have came along and said it was shite by now.

Come back when it's got gears. But does look like one of their beter offerings (Revolution can be a bit variable but the old Courier Race is teh bestest commutar evarz.)

More belt drives are a welcome thing. If I was wanting something to do a (fairly flat) commute on and had £600 to spend, it would be a nice option. My only concern would be that there's no scope to change gearing without buying a new belt as well as the other bits.

Like it, do it with drop bars, disc brakes, full mudguard compatible and knock £100 off the price and I'll bite your hand off
not that I'm fussy
