And there is the problem of using a GIH for a gearbox, it makes the bike to wide.

Too wide for what? measure the distance between the back of your cranks at the pedal axle some time, theres plenty of room!

Not really, perhaps you need to see a professional bike fitter?

Theres plenty of fully's that aren't much narrower than that. One advantage I can see with the largeish surface area is the ability to be able to control the bike with your legs somewhat abnd not have a pointy pointy jabbing you in the leg. I used to finish races on my keewee with bruises around the inside of my knees from the linkage plates bashing them

From the pics its way wider than a Keewee. Also the twin top tubes stay wide for a long time. Back when I was a kid and riding BMXs (the only time you should ride a BMX) I had a Torker and I used to beat up my knees on that as it had twin top tubes.
I believe the guys wanting to use a gearbox need to come up with a better way of doing it before it will take off. Maybe the mech in a box system could be better or a geared hub in the BB?
