Figure it might be a bit of a marmite topic as functionally it's pretty flawed for more hilly riding. But do like the simplicity and aesthetics
What do people think – love/hate? Any nice examples you've seen?

Suppose depends on your rings, but potentially less range and bigger gaps between gears. But tend to agree with spinnout's take... maybe it's not an issue
