Unless it's in the Freak's Topic... we don't like that kind of ridiculous.
What's so ridiculous?
Holding the LW in your hand is like holding a little Hummingbird. Of course that thing can fly

^The first and only time my wife & I saw a hummingbird was on holiday in California in 2004. We were tired from driving from San Francisco to Santa Monica and we were having a drink at the hotel outdoor bar. My wife suddenly went quiet (very rare), and when I looked round at her she was watching this tiny hummingbird in the flower garden. We watched it for what seemed like hours and it was an amazing sight, one of those moments we will never forget.

The LW rear derailleur is cool too.

My collection of LW RD
One is afix to the Colnago Master and the other is sealed...
Comparing to the original, Mark 2 is heavier by 5 to 8gr I think.

Those Jockey wheels look to have seen some chain time. Are you sure it's 'brand new' ?

Yeah. When you see them in person you can see some marks on the outer edges of the teeth, but nothing on the other wear surfaces. I think it may have bounced around a shop a bit. But I'm confident it is unridden. Even if it were used, for the price I paid, it was still a steal.

I have a SRAM RED down to 120g at about a 1/3rd of the cost.
Yes, but it'll always be a sram derailleur
Nothing sparkles like the name "lightweight" to the WW magpies

That's so sweet. Seen one of them on ebay recently. I've seen people tune their red RDs lower (though never as sexy). My searches for red 22 tuning kits have come up short. Any way I could shave 20-30g off a red 22 RD or anything off the FD?
