The Pinion C-line has a reduced Q-factor and chain-line and a lighter weight. The 17% steps between gears are slightly larger than I would like. Also I'd want to have locks instead of QRs on the boom.

Re: Pinion C1.12
One solution to the close steps could be to fit two sprockets close in size to get 'half-steps'. I did this on an old folder with a SA three-speed using a dished sprocket and a flat one. Amazingly it fitted after a bit of work with a Dremel! I like the concept of the Pinion.
