I do love the Stoater, but I am not convinced by the Rolhoff, and the belt drive even less. Fortunately there is one with proper gears too. It's a lovely thing, but I'm not sure it does much - apart from look nicer, weigh less and flex less - than my old hack.
I'd have one in a heartbeat

Nope! Disc brakes and sloping top tubes make me want to 
This on the other hand is a real contender
IMO anyway

Hi Crankarm. Beauty is very definitely in the eyes of the beholder - in this case it is you.
That is one hell of a lot of money for what appears to be a modified version of the Carrera Vituoso frame and loaded with alternative kit to that which most people would invest in.
I can see the belt drive system being fraught with issues from 'Road Crap' and almost certainly not a Winter steed.

nah, she looks too scary!
on the other hand for the OP it is a nice frame and if i could have a new set of wheels and a ultegra or durace groupset to fit to it, then yes i do like it

The same that Jackson is so in the past.
Just kidding every bike looks good to me, but I do like the aero look, by that I do not mean full of holes.

There are limitless funds this afternoon.
Anyway you can't put a price on true beauty.
The clean lines and simplicity of the Stoater have a timeless beauty and quality; elegant without being vulgar.

I had a feeling that this thread would produce some strong opinions and emotions. Judging by the last few posts I think I was right.
