Got mine today MSRP is about $225 (contact your LBS). Didn't have time
to ride any more than the 5 minutes home, but it feels promising. Very
smooth and much less stiction than the original bushing setup. My
Palomino bobs (a little) when I pedal!
I'll update soon.

Oops sorry, meant for alt.mountain-bike, but if you've got a Klein
Palomino...
Yes Bob, I know I'm slummin' it riding a Klein :-)
