Got the Rogue The Milo now that it's on its way out for cheap. I was originally looking for a track-style single speed bike, but I stumbled across this for $500 and changed course. Too much value for the money.

Not exactly what I had in mind since it is basically a rigid MTB frame, but it will do me well for getting around the city and having fun. It's been a blast so far.

On a side note…

Does anybody else with a belt drive deal with big fluctuations in their belt tension? I've been tinkering around with it to try and make it smoother, but my belt shifts 25hz per revolution no matter what, where in order to get the minimum tension in the loosest spot of 45hz, the tightest spot is at 70hz (just 5hz over recommended maximum). I narrowed it down to the beltring being slightly warped, which makes sense because the tightest point is in the same crank position, and it wobbles a bit when spun with the belt off. I did flip the beltring because it was obviously put on the wrong way, since the alignment was off by 6mm. That helped with the belt noise I was having out of the box, but the belt tension is still bothering me. Thinking of reaching out to Rogue since it should be covered by warranty.
