If I had some sort of air-brush to paint the lug other than with a rattle

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
I also agree. A website like that will just turn potential customers
away...like me for instance.
The price is out there too. I dare say I don't see a bright future for this

Unless the ergonomics is superior to shifters mounted on Kelly Take-

Kelly Take-offs are definitely better value.
