I've always loved the story from Rivendell about how exicited they are every time they open a shipping box from Nitto and see all the handlebars wrapped and ordered perfectly, so I thought I would also share ....

You snagged one - and man that's one good looking RD.   Congrats Steve.
I totally missed the release of this first batch. It's numero uno on my Christmas list. I'd ask you to post a review on its mechanical performance, but I suspect it's as close to perfect as a derailleur can possibly be.

Ooo!
I have the same deore RD on my Appaloosa that you had on your bike there. Keen to hear how this swap goes in practice.
