I bought my lone Belt-Drive bike in pure impulse because my Fixie needed some repairs & I feared not riding. She is very light and her gear-ratio is effortless uphill — I feel it as 5th gear. She does not sprint & her handlebars are set to over 1/4th Victim To The Wind. Each time I ride her I enjoy the ride but in honesty I prefer more difficult bikes doing more difficult things; I keep her for company shd any guest want to ride & not know how to ride a Fixie.
That said I had a wonderful time with her today. Up some very challenging hills & hill-combinations.
