Thanks Kiwi. See my PM.

Thanks Kiwi, very interesting thread on the MM/Gates/Rohloff combo. Seems they've got the Gates belt drive pretty sorted, but the Rohloff hub some way off. I'll be waiting to see what happens. If they succeed, would you be able to source/build one?

If any singlespeed purists read this post, let me apologize in advance for my sacrilege ... Do you think I will be able to run a Rohloff hub with Gates carbon belt drive on the Milk Money? It seems to have all the right ingredients: - concentric BB/swingarm pivot to prevent chain growth - bolted pivot link where the rear triangle can be 'broken' to slip in the belt - adjustable dropout to tension the belt - sliding mount to allow use of disc brakes Such a rig would probably be the first in the world - I have never seen such a combo with dual sus, discs, internal hub and belt drive. Now I know the Rohloff is for middle-aged wankers with too much money, but do you think it can work?

Drool .... the Milk Money SS looks lean and mean. Can't see frame details here - does it have a horizontal slop dropout? Does it have the BB-concentric pivot as in the pic you posted on 30 Jul 2007?
