Sat in my usual window seat in LookMum.
And rather than looking past the bikes, static in the window, to the ones that rush past constantly outside the window. I look at the ones directly in front of me, on the horrendously expensive stands, and hooks by Quaterre, http://www.quarterre.com/products-page/
The bikes, form a company called Milk are their blurb says a brand new bike company based out of Clemsford, and all of their bikes are designed around belt drives, and disc brakes.
Took a quick look at the website and they seem decent enough. One model currently in production the Commuter which comes with either an 8spd or 11Spd Alfine hub. And with a fixed/singlespeed frame and a hardtail mountain bike frame, to be produced in the future.
Not so sure about the pricetag though 1450GBP all in for the 8spd, 1650GBP for the 11spd.

For some reason I've gotten interested in belt drives, ease of use, no grease, longevity, etc, and I know manufacturers have started building bikes with belt drives, but it's piqued my interest that a company has eschewed the normal drive train for this modern take on it..
