Hi 12,
For pics of the basic bike, just google " GT IT1" , they made it in 2006 and 2007.
The nice thing is the rear swing arm is really light, and resembles a motorcycle swingarm. GT has no spare parts for my bike, so I'm stuck with what I have. It has 'one of' cnc machined sprocket parts on it, for example. I am preparing my second mill for cnc, so I can make parts as needed. I also got a good deal on 135 lbs of scrap magnesium 1" and 2" plate,and I'm really looking forward to machining some of that. It cuts nice, and weighs 1/2 of the AL version.
I have to make a custom chainring adapter for the rear sprocket, to reduce the load on the little 8 speed gearbox.
If you have ever seen the exploded view of those shimano's, you would be as scared as me for it's survival.
Also the higher the chain speed, the less stress on the chain there is.
Roy, on the sound ( belt vs chain ) I'm really just interested if one sounds more irritating than the other, for innocent bystanders, as it were.

Do you have any pics of the 8 speed hub as an intermediate transmission?
I'd be really interested in seeing them...
I like the idea of divorced transmissions for some reason...guess they remind
me of a motorcycle... :wink:
Thanks....
