Maybe if they had released it in 2007 then it would have been worth a look, but now Kona and Blackmarket both have similiar products out which are better looking and lighter. The Killswitch seems like a better thought out design to me in particular, with shorter chainstays and 2.5 pounds lighter Blackmarket have really done their homework!. Oh, also the Transition Double, that probably falls into this category as well. I realise this might be cheaper, but Blackmarket aren't exactly well known for making overpriced products, and neither are Transition. To be honest if it has been in prototype since 2007 that would suggest to me that it will actually be quite expensive as they will need to balance the cost of all that development!
