City Bike P.S.

So Trek is already making a good-looking and well-reviewed belt-driven city bike. I would prefer the sram over the shimano rear internal gear hub, for no reason other than I like sram. On the front hub I would go with a dynamo hub for an LED front light. And I would much prefer single disc brakes up front rather than drum brakes front & rear. But looks mostly spot-on for a city bike.

Given that as a utility bike, the recreational bike would likely be something along the lines of a cyclocross bike -- ok for long road rides as well as path and off-road. I still feel suspension should be in the mix somewhere, though. Hm.
