I've been amazed to see this new fixture pop up everywhere on bicycle forums. Whatever the deficiencies in its design, their presentation has been a widespread success. The $299 price for the fixture itself seems very reasonable. Except it isn't something I would want to use or encourage my framebuilding class students to get. It is clever but doesn't appear to be designed by an experienced framebuilder. I can think of lots of changes I would want to make on it.
