Okay, I got a thing for one piece footboards and direct drive. Speed Kings, for example.
I wanted to try one of these bad dogs out, just because I liked the design. And it is innovative. Unlike the SK, the tension adjustment is on top of the column, which is kinda cool. All kinds of adjustments. The design is just plain interesting (for gear geeks!).
This does play smoothly, no sense of mechanical problems.
