In short, I don't think I'd actively seek it out again. But I wouldn't necessarily pull it off a bike that came equipped with it either.
Sums it up nicely.
There's an Arabesque 600 bike in the fleet that works fine since I replaced the long cage RD with a short one. There's also a Cyclone/Superbe bike that works better.
I should really open a can of worms and post an Arabesque crank with Biopace chainrings........
