Very interesting Wired has a "Variable-Transmission Bicycle" article:

http://www.wired.com/gadgets/gadgetreviews/multimedia/2007/06/summerguide_bike

Here is the Ellsworth site.

http://www.ellsworthride.com

Plugging the name of the transmission into Google:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=+%09NuVinci%E2%84%A2+CVP+Drivetrain&btnG=Google+Search

Gets this:

The transmission looks pretty cool.

Only place with a price so far is eBay item 110138363262:

Google search for price:

One article seems to indicate it is not officially released as an
independent product, but it does say second half of 2007:
