I got to have a play on this bike earlier in the week, at a shop in Munich:

(see Peacemaker)
Nicely put together, the carbondrive is sweet - a very smooth ride, and it would be great not having to be greasing the chain after every downpour.
Unfortunately, the highest gearing they can offer is 60:20, which wouldn't suit me, but apparently Schlumpf are developing a version for Carbondrive, so perhaps a two-speed fixie would be an option.
