I loved the CVT designs that have popped up a few times in recent years. But with ones like the ThunderChickens design, we could only look on with envy and the realization that it was a design we could not build without a much better fabrication capability. That is why the Killer Bees design is so brilliant - they get a similar level of performance (particularly with the automatic shifting function), but you don't need any high-end tooling to put it together. Just about anyone with access to a moderate high school shop can build it. In that respect, it is a truly elegant design.
