Paul's components were very interesting, in a cool, very high tech for the time, sort of way, but were very pricey and according to users, did not work as well as they looked. Plus they supposedly had some cracking problems because of CNC machined in stress risers (too many sharp corners?).
I'd consider them as more of "boutique" type of components, more at home on show bikes than in the peleton or on a serious continental touring rig....
