As engineering jobs go-it would probably make a very nice gearchange linkage!
Torque arms need to be rigid as per the Nexus illustration-wouldnt it have been easier to design/make one that would be up to the job and lookk good at the same time?

I hear what your saying but I just pref the look of rose joints, it may not be up to the job, but as I said before, it doesn't have to be practical, just look good.
