Isn't this the most beautiful bike ……. ever?

Nice looking bike, but not my cup of tea.

Nice in a simplistic sort of way. I understand the Rohloff hubs are the best but the Genesis with the Shimano Alfine hub would be a more affordable solution if you like that style, plus it's a grand a and a half less. http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bikes/adventure/urban-cross/day-one-alfine-di2

I like the sloping top tube, because it creates a more relaxed, touring geometry, which is generally my preference. I share others' reservations about the belt drive, though.

Relaxed?! Crikey - I'd hate to see what you think of as aggressive. The riding position is arse-in-air - hopeless for anything other than fast riding. You need about two inches of steerer tube available so that you can adjust the height.

Says the guy who wants to will own a Land Rover.

whats that, is a land rover scarier, or is ultegra and durace too modern and hightec compared to a landy?
Cheers Ed

Money no object?
Then for me the light Blue 953 custom on this page is the most beautiful bicycle I have ever seen. In the flesh it's stunning right down to it's Sterling Silver badge ....

No mention of crank length in the geometry. Wonder if it's one size fits all, because that's my experience of belt drives & it isnt 175mm
For me curly Hetchins is the ultimate bike porn

Don't know what they are like to ride, but they look amazing

The nicest bikes I have seen lately are vanilla bikes 5 year waiting list I think a few years ago it would have all been Italian bikes but now the American builders are so good
