One unique fixed gear bike in particular stood out from the rest at the Trek World 2008 event, where Trek revealed their lineup for 2009. The Trek District – a single speed fixed Gates common belt drive bike (no chain) with front and rear breaks and an urban look – is one of many fixed gear bikes to emerge in 09’ that incorporates features for the novice fixed gear rider. The Trek District features a glossy gray Trek specific frame with orange graphics, orange wheel sets, brown handlebar grips and seat, and an optional chain guard. MSRP $929.99

This is not fixed. It is a free wheel single speed.
Unfortunately it’s not a fixie, and there is no easy way to convert it to a fixed gear that I know of. I asked Trek about some of the details, here’s a link to what they had to say..

The belt drive was originally done in the early 1990s by eCycle.
Trek is taking credit for it.

I don’t think trek is taking credit for anything. Gates wich I believe is a division of spot has perfected this drive and has had it’s hands in belt drives for some time. You can not compair a carbon belt drive to those old rubber drive belts they tried in the 70′s kudos to trek for not fearing new tech.
Say it again, please.
