Map cycles sells an economy kiy for $400. That's the cheapest Ive heard of.

there's a company called Hayward that makes belt drive kits for old brit bikes. here's a url for British Cycle Supply Company (http://www.britishcycle.com/Products/hayward_belt_drive_kits.htm). also you might want to contact either Richard or Bob at Rabers (408 998 4495 http://www.rabers.com) and ask them if they have it and for how much. sorry to here about the bike. did the gas tank survive?

This happened to my 62 Bonnie. I'm glad I was only puttering around the driveway.
