I'm going on a frame building course next year and am planning what I'm going to build. Although I love my vintage look frames, this is going to be a modern build with bilam headtube and the rest is fillet brazed. This is when I started thinking of belt drive...
I'm not 100% on it as I am heading towards a complete NJS setup, but do you guys think it's worth adding a seat stay coupler to allow a belt drive for the future? Looking at Phil Wood belt drive, but no idea of price yet or whether it's even worth it.
