The derailleur was just doing what it was told.
If you hit a baseball through a window, do you blame the ball ?

Looks like you just need a new hanger & derailleur. Possibly a chain if there are bent links.
okei.
Well... it is the first bike I got from a bike shop - not physically collected at the shop.
Out of the box everything was assembled except for seat/seatpost, front wheel and bar tape.
SO.. Not being too naive, I thought that as everything on the rear of the bike was already assembled, that I could at least do a couple of test rides before maybe doing some fine tuning, not that the rear derailleur was so badly factory-setup it would self destruct ;-). Everything was working as it should except for some minor clicky-slightly off perfect sounds on the extremes of front / rear chain angle.
I was plainly naive.
?
And as for the seat cage; I use a fairly small bottle and prefer the look/distance. Obviously the carbon cage was extremely important weight-wise...
