Sorry for the push-back, but we see a lot of "I want to Build A Bike" threads where they don't want to spend any money, or have a pile of parts that don't work together (like MTB wheels on a TT frame) or want BF members to give them a complete shopping list, or they want something that really doesn't exist.

Saying you're a noob and asking about belt drives kinda raised that flag. BF is primarily a US forum, and belt drives aren't really common here.

You seem to have better than typical mechanical ability, and I'm glad you took this as a learning experience. As you found out, even simple bikes like yours are more complicated than they look.
second the need picture or it didn't happen

and second note there are many I want to build a bike threads where the poster does not understand it will cost more or has ideas that may not be safe or practical.

Truthfully (once the picture shows up.... no hints here) you the OP are a rare exception
