    Old news,

    Chainless drive has ben araound for a decade atleast. Biomega wasn't even first, but remains the best.

    Cool! I wish I'd had one of these when I was a kid. I was always fouling my chain (sounds dirty, eh?) in my jeans (even dirtier, huzzah!).

    I should look into getting one of these for my da. He loves to ride the back country roads, but he looks ridiculous with all those rubber bands around his ankles.

    I love my new chainless bike! They're offering free shipping through July 15th. They also offer a lifetime warranty on the frame, forks, and the D-Drive chainless internal operating system.

    I ordered a Dekra bike for myself last week. It was fast, easy, and I got confirmation it will be delivered to my home tomorrow. I tried a Dekra bike a few months ago, and the ride was smooth and surprisingly quiet. I'm looking forward to bike riding all summer long!

    Nothing new here. www.dynamicbicycles.com is another seller of chainless, shaft-driven bicycles, and has a much wider selection of bikes (and has been around a while, as well).

    1897 was when shaft driven bicycles were first introduced.

    Major problem with the tech is non-variable distance from bb--drop-out so it's neigh impossible to retrofit a frame. Anyone can solve this jazz could get a sweet patent.

    I have a Dekra chainless bike that I have put 2,200 basically trouble free miles on it in about a year. Shaftdrive doesn't offer the range of regular (30 / 27 / 24 or 21 speed) gears so pedaling efficiency is restricted to choice of 3, 7 or eight gears. Also the shaftdrive system seems to have more "power loss" when compared to the regular chain & sprocket combo. On the other hand, the shaftdrive system didn't require any maintenace except to tighten a loose nut!
