I agree, annoying website. The video shows the product: http://vimeo.com/32392053 My initial reaction is that $240 is expensive if the downtube shifters are not included. I can see the appeal of a system that is between bar-ends and brifters in the performance/durability continuum for super-muddy cyclocross racing, but IMO it would also make sense for the product to be priced accordingly (e.g., about half what they are asking).
