It starts with a SRAM crank attached to a Gates 50T Belt drive, with a Gates carbon belt driving a Shimano Nexus 8 speed rear hub. Very quiet and smooth.
ITS NOT SO LIGHT, I DIDN'T BUILD THIS BIKE TO BE LIGHT, BUT TO BE SAFE, RUGGED AND DEPENDABLE, JUST THOSE HUBS ALONE WEIGH A TON. SHE WEIGHS 33LBS, BUT I HAVE MADE BAMBOO RACE BIKES UNDER 15LBS, SO LIGHT, STIFF AND COMFORTABLE IS TOTALLY POSSIBLE.
What's the music?

I designed the drop outs in CAD and then had them machined in 6061 aluminum.

What is the rear hub. I just built a sturmey archer 8 sp internal (120 spacing) and would like to convert to a belt drive.
Thanks for the view of the bottle cages. I have a bamboo cage from organicbikes but have not installed it, I will now.
I built mine on Easter Sunday at the Bamboo bike studio in Brooklyn, ride it every day around Atlanta.
