David,

Well, I guess all I can say is my opinion is different from his. So, until I see printed documentation referring to this "rare" derailleur, my opinion hasn't changed. There are just too many red flags indicating "Modified by Consumer". It would be interesting to hear any more details from him to support his claim.
