I am sure a Paul made one would be well north of a grand. You might pay it but I would guess most of the regular world would not. Especially with cheap RR options available used. It's not like this is a product people are trying desperately to get. Its a product that Rivendell is going to have to convince people they need. I'm up to try one but when the Altus derailer I have on my Clem works so f'n fantastic at $25 it's hard for me to think of paying 20 times that to make it go backwards. It would be an odd sell for a company that has long been saying the cheapest Shimano shift as good as all of the expensive stuff. I still hope he can pull it together I was certainly interested in the low end version.
