Like I said, I'm not that big of a fan just because, they need to make a retro version, still would be hard to justify the cost.
I thought you were going to say that you were not a fan due to the parts being so upscale and therefore over-priced for what the average person needs. Such made in USA goodness to me is worth it for whoever decides they really value that level of awesome.
...or, you could have said that you weren’t a fan due to the rear freehub design. It could be argued that such an expensive hub should have more durable splines on the freehub body. I’ve seen some used Chris King wheels on eBay that look really heavily used. I guess that’s a good thing that folks are really putting these parts to work.
