I appreciate anyone willing to take a step back and ask why things are done the way they are and trying something different, but seems to suggest mechanical groupsets will end up mostly all looking and functioning alike or auteur 'classic car' pieces.
Gotta agree...and that $729 doesn't include the very unique frame required to even mount the thing...

It’s worth noting that the Nivex requires a special braze-on under the chainstay and can’t be mounted on standard derailleur hangers.
OR the $249 shifter...yikes.

Rene Herse also sells the matching shifter ($249) in corresponding configurations for index shifting or pure friction shifting.
To say this market is small, is quite the understatement.
