[Closed] Belt drive conversion recommendations in Edinburgh area

Can anyone recommend a frame builder etc. who can carry out a belt drive conversion to a couple of steel frames in the Edinburgh area?

I did have a look at the Edinburgh Bikes Revolution Belter but want to use bigger tyres (26" slicks) and a rack and guards that it won't accommodate so think I may try and cobble something together using parts I already have and so on.

Also, does anyone have any experience of getting the Gates centre-track drivetrain from any suppliers/online shops?

Any suggestions or advice based on your experience (particularly costs) would be great.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will look into Shand and Kinetics. No idea who the cutlery master is, friendly or otherwise?!

Aw shucks, thank you ๐Ÿ˜‰

Yes, can do that - either with a Paragon splitter or S&S coupling.
