Suffice it to say that a neighbor that bought one spent a month trying to wrap their head around why their new bike's drivetrain clattered so often.
No amount of adjustment can overcome it either. Not saying it's the RD's fault at all, but the reverse parallelogram pivot - in this case - does little other than to give the RD greater ground clearance.
I'd love to see someone adapt one of these to a frame with a proper wheelbase though, would be an interesting study.

That being said, it does not hide its CNC origins either in form or finish, and I wish it did on one or both accounts (both preferably). It and the shifter give off a strong prototype aesthetic, something that polishing or anodization would readily ease, IMO. Or simply perhaps some well-placed radii. Some of the chosen hardware also hurts the 'presentation,' which is one part "could have used something else" and one part "Rene Herse is not Shimano et al in both component history development and expenditure."
I do like the contrasting brass/copper pieces--those help bring visual interest in critical areas. Additionally, this looks like it could be/was assembled by humans and not a million robots employing special jigs. Repairable, rebuildable, modifiable--qualities that I think many of us appreciate.

I've enjoyed reading through many of the comments. Personally I think it is interesting and I hope it is a successful and rewarding venture. And maybe it will spawn more projects of its type. The advances in CNC manufacturing and 3D printing are making the unheard of actually possible now.

And if you think that was different, here's a SunTour S-1 derailleur bit brazed onto a chainstay for @rhm
Lookit that DIY jig I made! It's actually pretty accurate, I used my flat table to check parallelism and met the spec'ed offset from the dropout.
SunTour realized that wheel removal would be an issue, so they included this little piece to hang your chain on when removing the rear wheel:
Bolts onto the old derailleur hanger. Yes, I modified the position this, but that's another story.
Price is high due to very low volume. If Jan could sell 10's of thousands of these it would be a quarter of less of the cost.
I think the biggest issue is needing to modify a frame to bolt it on. If you dig a bit deeper you'll find a $139 jig to accurately place the attachment bit. I couldn't find any spec's for the location to make my own, so one is stuck with having to purchase the jig.
Just noticed that the pullies appear to be 3D printed - if you look closely you'll see what looks like "sedimentary" layers, typical for the layer by layer 3D printing process.
If Jan had enough "mad money" for this passion project, it could be worth it as a marketing ploy. It's his business. And right now his initial run appears to be sold out. I have no idea how many he sold, or what his break even point is.

once one has the parts in hand, there will be work to get them into position

An older German cyclist reminisced about sport cycling in the 1930s. The club all used Fichtel&Sachs hub gears except one sporting blade who had an Italian derailleur set. He said they good-naturedly refused to shake hands with him. "Nein! Schwarze Finger!"

Excerpt from a conversation on the same topic from google groups i-bob list:
Bill,
You owe somebody $ 5. It's not a typo... For now, we don't plan to offer 9-speed.The difference is indeed just the indexing ring inside the shift lever. Why not offer every possible version? The issue is the R&D. The specs of cassettes aren’t published, so we have to measure half a dozen to figure out the _real_ tolerances. Then we have to design the indexing ring. Then test it (which means setting up a bike with those parts). In fact, the indexing is subtly different for Campy and Shimano. That's why we recommend a Shimano cassette for the current 11-speed. Campy and SRAM will work in a pinch, but it's not ideal.
As an aside, the indexing ring isn’t notched in our case, as that would give you too much indexing. So we use a different way to create the indexing. In theory, you could rebuild an 11-speed shift lever into an 8-speed, or even friction. In practice, disassembly is not trivial—there are many tiny parts inside. Also, all levers use matched parts—meaning we measure all parts from a batch and combine those that work best together to get the tightest tolerances and best shift feel. It's sort of like blueprinting engines for racecars.
Agree with the other comments here. This project was never going to make commercial sense. It was a challenge for our engineering team. It's a product I want to ride. It's something to share with a few others—the first (admittedly very small) production run already sold out—but it's not going to set the world on fire. If it gets other component makers reassess some of their assumptions, all the better. (Who would have thought that wide tires would catch on in such a big way?)

Nothing really wrong with that other than the bet smugness. It costs a lot to tool up for this stuff, arguably even more than it costs to CNC.
Speaking of which, take a look at the process of getting plastic castings made for the Linus Tech Tips screwdriver ( 8:03 - 9:24 ), arguably the same process that would be required for just one of the Rene Herse pulley wheels if Jan had gone with injection molding:
That explains the 3D-printed approach. Not ideal, but it works well enough. The smoother forms of resin plastic (SLS) printing would have been too brittle.

Also note that Jan sold a limited edition 80th Anniversary Rene Herse complete bike for around $14,000. Website shows they sold out. These high end products are a niche market with probably little to no profit, but if you consider it as advertising for his brand, creating a buzz, it's probably worth it.
This thread is up 136 posts now, so it's definitely created some buzz here.

I dunno, does Mr. Heine/René Herse Cycles sell something like pine tar soap or hemp twine, so we could throw him a bone just for the entertainment? 
(Hmm. Checks website). Oooo! How about a Nivex® brand derailleur cable?

This part of his writing resonates with me:
When I cook, using a great knife is more fun than a KitchenAid. When I ride my bike, I pull the lever and feel the chain mesh with the new cog as a result of my hand movement. It doesn’t make me faster, but it makes riding more fun.
Like driving a car with manual transmission. It’s about being involved in the operation of my bike. There’s a joy in feeling the gears engage, because I (not a computer) timed the shift perfectly
Modern derailleurs were designed for different criteria than what’s important to me. I like a ‘manual’ bike where it’s me and not a servo motor who’s moving the chain.
