Looked at the District too but the model I wanted (2009) was sold out and since then they're hard to come by - think they had a mass product recall... Evans used to sell them. Plus the 2010 and later models had a price of c£900... Admittedly i don't know as much about frames as the guys on here so the advice is appreciated but I researched consumer (i.e. affordable) belt drives for some time and Schindlehauer for me looked by far the best (but too pricey) then the Trek until it disappeared of the face of the earth. The revised Trek models I didn't like the look of and as already mentioned seemed to get recalled... The £800 I paid is pricey but I never would have been competent enough to build my own. Fixie Inc made a nice belt drive Peacemaker but again that disappeared too.
