A thing of beauty but I'm not sure I'd actually want to use it.
I used to have a Shimano Titlist derailleur like the one in the third pic. Happy days when you could mix and match components as you pleased.

That's an extravagant bit of flair. More show than go, perhaps? I like it.

I’ve seen this photo before. It’s hard to wrap my head around what, If any benefits this could offer, but it certainly looks unique. I’m willing to bet it’s a french invention. Aesthetically, it kind of reminds me of those sugino ‘tension disc’ rear wheels, or the early 90’s Tioga ‘disk drive’ wheels.

Someday, they'll probably replace those spoked cranks with solid - you know, make 'em more aero.
