I bought the bike without knowing much about Foffa but wanting to try a gates drive. The belt drive is fantastically low maintenance and eerily silent when riding.
The NuVinci was also a first for me, a 'CVT' or Continuously Variable Planetary Transmission allows you to shift 'gears' whilst stopped but more interestingly allows the rider to almost infinitely 'tune' the gear ratio rather than having fixed ratios as per a typical derailleur set up where gears are selected and have fixed ratios.
Finally, the frameset is built by Foffa who went out of business but by all accounts built some very good steel frames.
