I do pull ups on my fluidity bar. Sit cross legged with bar high enough above my head and pull myself up. I used my fluidity bar to do P90X chest and back and it worked well. Love that workout - mainly various forms of push ups and pull ups, so fits the body weight category quite well.

I agree that the vertical pull up is a different monster, but the horizontal variation is a great option to built strength. I have the Equalizer and I believe is more difficult than a pull down. The Equalizer is tough too. To built strength you can start with the bend knee variation and turn to full leg horizontal extension to increase difficulty. Lucky Star- I think the Equalizer or any cheaper alternative will be effective, but if your final goal is to perform full pull ups maybe the assisted pull stations is a better option and you will not need to invest on two piece of equipments.
To built strength I will progress trough this exercises; pull downs, negatives pull downs, knee horizontal rows, full extension horizontal rows, assisted pull ups, pull ups
