Oh yeah, total dentist's bike.
Belt drive kind of makes sense on a travel bike, but probably a fucker to live with in reality.
Polygon-
thing is, its not even dentist bike IMO.
That would be a superlight, with a premium paint finish, ti bar/post, 2speed brompton hub, maybe schmidt dynamo set up if you fancied that.
Its not functional or beautiful... its a bit lost.
Belt drive, again, IMO, just doesn't have a place compared to a chain.

for me, I see so many things that are done because, not because functional...
Disc brakes on 16" wheels? so overkill and just not needed.
2 speed internal? - the beauty of the 2 speed is the lack of weight..
belt drive? yeah, just no.
And the cost...
hope brakes, £300+
custom fork ..
custom rear triangle..
ti post..
belt stuff...
cannot even imagine.
