Yeah, it's a nice idea. I don't have a problem with a cassette where you can't change cogs because that is usually not necessary. Too bad it's so expensive. I hope it's made of steel for durability.

Part of me is having a hard time containing itself with just how perfect and epic this crankset would be. Especially on a white bike with matching rear derailleur and matching anodized (or painted) blue rims.

It'll take weight off your bike AND your wallet! It's a feature, not a bug!
