I came across this story yesterday which talks about a few of Trek's products going "chainless." Instead of having a chain drive the system, it is belt driven which is a lot quieter, easier to maintain and potentially less messy. The bikes are geared toward the commuter crowd and have a pretty high cool factor.
I had a chance to see the District in August at Trek World and it would be my personal "If I could buy one bike this year just for fun" bike. It's got a great look to it and suits my evolving "lifecyclist" approach to bikes quite well. If only I had an extra $850, room in the garage and a valid reason to buy one other than the fact that it's cool.
