The short answer is no, since neither will work with triple road cranksets. That's the deal killer right there. They are also both limited to outboard bearing systems as well, but I have no idea what the Lambo utilizes.
Another facet of this issue is ... a $175, (Forward Components, shims, tax & shipping), or a +$300 (Exzentriker) "upgrade" on a sub-$500 bike?
But I gotta say thanks, SHPBike, for posting this! These were originally designed for guys to make fixies out of current day vertical droupout frames, and they are neat! First I've heard of them!
