Yabai yokel Olias reported to me via text (and emails) that in L.A. the new dig is bikes without chains...with belts! Trek has recently released some pricey bikes with toothy belt drives that are apparently more low maintenance than metal chains (yeah) and more durable. (what?)
here's the article.

Oh yeah, and Olias successfully built a bike lighter than mine for $80...and he actually built it. Kudos and props and daps.

Post some pictures up of the $80 bike - want to see it!
You're right Trek's chainless bike (both Soho & District) are very cool.
