It looks to function different than most; Very little incline to the pantograph, instead, the cage pivot is between the pulleys, so that as the idler/bottom pulley gets pulled forward as you downshift to the large cogs, the jockey/upper pulley swings back and down to provide clearance to them.
Hey, I do listen to you guys, so I understand that this isn't likely to work. I'm going to run with the Shimano drive I installed on my bike, and the LBS is installing a Microshift drive on my wife's bike. It's going to be interesting comparing the two. Hers is going to be lighter, but won't have the gear range. I may have to install a smaller chainring for her. I should also try to find a flashy piece of gear for her bike so she can one up me. That's always helpful.
