THere's some bling bling for you guys. I didn't realize the pivot arm was CF too.
I think it is only 30-40 grams lighter than a centaur rear derailleur, but it just looks awesome.
I just wonder how strong will it be if you hit something?

Throw the stick!!!!
Well here is a picture of mine after a crash at around 20 mph. If you look close you will see the scuffs on the carbon right at the two screws.
Here is a close-up. I would say it holds up pretty well.

I tanked it pretty hard on the derailure side and it lived. Nothing is industructable but my '04 Record has taken some pretty big hits.
