DrilliumDude hooked me up!
I posted this in the Derailleur Eye Candy thread yesterday, but I have no way of knowing if any of you looked at that Zombie thread. I really want everyone to see the fabulous job DrilliumDude did on this
I forget how the idea came up but in PMing with DDude about pertecanta chain holders one of got the idea to drillium a Chorus RD. here is the results of DrilliumDudes handywork.
DrilliumDude thank you again for such a fabulous job.

Sort of reminds me of an Abalone.....The holes look so natural and seems to have been designed into the RD by Campagnolo.
I wish I could drill as well as DD.
Will the drillium movement come back in a big way too?

What a unique piece of bike jewelry. I don't think I've ever seen a slant parallelogram RD done in drillium...now it's got me thinking.

Pretty, but I don't approve. The only logical reason for doing this has been to reduce weight. But, with aluminum, how much weight could possibly been saved? Not to mention that it could lead to catastrophic failure of the piece.

pretty is logical enough for me. my seatpost could be used for an anchor (ok not quite) but the holes make it all worth it. we all need one "shallow" bike right?
great work drilliumdude
what is the build plan bianchigirll? will there be other drillium work?

^Nah, the expressed reason in doing this for BG was to add some prettiness 
Even back in the heyday of drillium, I think it's safe to say it was more about personalizing one's bike than saving weight (that's what Arnold Industries/OMAS ergal sets were for!). I mean, I think this might have shaved the weight of a couple commemorative postage stamps...

as for a build plan... I actually think it is going on that K2 carbon frame eventually. I have a few other projects I need to get done first.
