Limeted SRAM X.O derailleur 500 euro
What the f*** ? What was it made of unobtainium?

No they come Annodised in the color off choice and they are made in Italy,I've been waiting for 4 month's already and they come next month.These derailleurs are not available to Online stores or most bikeshops.The company's name is unknown and it doesn't have a website either.Only a view selected company's can order them only and the prices are difirent for each color.If you wanted to pay a view 1000 euro they can Gold plated them as well(but nobody's is doing that).The X.O standard derailleur price is 300 to 500 euro on the basic colors(red,bleu,white,Purple and orange etc).My LBS has on 2 bikes with 2 limeted X.O derailleurs mounted onto a Cannondale Scalpel and FRM 10HP.Wink

For me, to hang a 500 euro der. off the back of my bike prone to trail trashing is insanity. The X0 is too expensive as it is for what it is, never mind sprucin it up.
But ya know you could be spendin it on somethin far more fruitless so keep it in a glass box on the mantle.

As long as you're happy, thats all that matters. If I went riding and didn't smile, those bikes would go on E-bay when i got home....

I actualy have all my receipts.

DH bike was 3300 dollars and I got roughly 25-45% off of everything.
Street/park/dj bike was 3100 and I got between 25-40% off on everything except my frame.

Without discount I would have close to 12000 dollars in to 2 bikes. I also have my troy lee helmet, my pro tec brain bucket and a bunch of spare parts. I have 2 bike bags for taking bikes on planes. Whistler season pass. The list does not stop. I have invested alot of money, time, love, sweat, blood and broken bones in to this sport. I love it.
