Seen at Sea Otter 2013 - Zerode G2 Gearbox Bike
Looks nice. Love the gearbox idea.
As for the 'too complicated to work on' argument, if you think thats the case, then leave it to your dealer.
What Zerode would need to do is have a 48 hour swap in case of any failure. Let the dealer send in the serial nr of the broken one, they immediately send out a replacement (doesn't even have to be new, just a working one).
Once the broken part is in, they give a quote on repair costs.
With the serial numbers in a database, they can keep track which gearbox had what service done. Add some electronics, and you know the mileage too.

This build just makes sense for the hardcore rider.
Like Kootenaycycle says. yes you can save and win the internet weight weenie contest.
You will be stopping every mile to fix a puncture too, and missing corners because you got no grip.
Switch to a regular post and pussy tires can easily win you 2kg, but it would take the fun out of riding.
The problem is people like to compare, and numbers are easier to compare then how much fun a bike is.
