    In Sweden this weekend and saw a pair of Trek bikes with belt drives. Looked very sorted, they were on retro looking commuter bikes.

    Advantages/cons?

    Pros
    Ease of maintenance – i.e. no need for lube
    Clean – no lube, no mess. Ideal for commute bikes
    Durable and strong
    Light
    Actually perform very well in muddy conditions!

    Cons
    not as versatile as chain drive, ie changing gearing
    not trail fixable
