Ring Gear spacer
Where can I purchase a belt drive train for a road bike?

Looking to convert a road bike drive train to a belt drive train. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need:

-belt
-front chain (belt) ring
-rear cog
-spacers

Looking to make a single/fixed gear.

Thanks

Note: I have a Masi Speciale CX but thinking of doing this to a Masi Speciale Fixed

not sure you can just buy a conversion

the whole frame may need to be custom made for belt drive

wle

there are reasons not to do it, too

Disadvantages

* Scarcer at shops than bicycles with conventional chain.
* Belt-driven bicycles often incorporate proprietary plastic gears, which wear out more quickly than metal. Specially designed lightweight metal sprockets are available on some models and in kits.
* Derailleurs can't be used, so an internal-gear hub is used if gears are required.

====================it won;t work=======
* The belt cannot be taken apart, as a chain can, so a frame must be able to accommodate the belt by having an opening in the rear triangle or an elevated chain stay.
============

* Belts come in limited length selection.
