Looks brilliant on the website. Very similar to what you see in Europe. The rubberized top tube is smart! It has roller brakes, not disks, which are very nice and solid state, no external disks to get banged up. If the belt system gets good reviews, that's a tidy setup for getting about. That said--any Nexus bike with a cheap bmx nickel chain used with a dry lube then wiped thoroughly clean is also very neat and you won't get left high and dry if the belt company goes belly up.
Have a look at the Jamis Commuters--they've got a nice Nexus 8 for about half.
