The Ebay seller just got in contact to say that the belt drive set-up he has available to buy is a 42:22. This gives me 55.5" instead of the planned 50.5". Thats a fair amount of difference, but I reckon it'll be feel a lot better on flat gravel trails. Long climbs will just have to involve more shouldering.
I have 57 GI and it is little to hard to get up some stuff (though this is a trade off between being able to ride to the pub quickly and going offroad). Though my Marin does weighs a ton and I am a rubbish mountain biker.
