Those are some very, very well taken pictures, Chapeau!

Bike looks lovely too. Have always had half a thought of making up a belt driven ride, this project is just adding fuel to my fire :-)

What model trek is it? I had a District belt drive and noticed that there was a carbon version made.
That's a great looking bike you have.

This is the one. The carbon version of the trek district. Dubbed the "financial district" limited production worldwide.

Local guy here has his district fixed rather than single speed, so doable. However he does own the LBS so has contacts who could make up a fixed hub for his District. Like the look of that carbon version, normal one looks lovely as well .

They are super photos. What camera are you using?

Fixed Gates sprockets are fairly easily obtainable.

Woodrup Cycles make a very attractive fixed wheel belt drive bike.
