Agree, but I have not researched it much. I have a Rohloff bike already, I can't really think of a good reason to also get a Pinion bike.
My Rohloff bike is an S&S bike with 26 inch wheels, the 26 inch wheels pack easier than 700c. Not sure if the Pinion can be made to fit the entire bike in an S&S case. That is not a deal breaker issue, but when I am thinking about using my S&S bike on my next trip which will be international, that comes to mind.
