Well, here's an even more expensive shifting system--and one that's much more interesting to me:

Well if you can afford a $1000 derailleur for your $10,000 bike, then you probably summon one of your servants who has been carrying your backup $10,000 touring bike on his back while riding his India-made clone of a Raleigh 3-speed

I'd just hire Cliff. He'd ride right behind you with a Burley trailer and a quiver of spare bikes. And he could probably do it on one of those Indian Raleigh clones.

Surprised we don't see more of this, especially since the patents are long expired. I figure folks would make boutique, special runs of this stuff.
I'm really interested in seeing who picks up on brifters as those patents are expiring soon. Could make entire SRAM groupsets soon...

Such a teaser! Is that a SunTour derailleur. I'm not familiar with it. I know they made a style of derailleur that attached to the chainstay, but not this one. 2 cogs on the freewheel or is there another behind the dropout? All steel on a lower end bike. Interesting.
It is like their HoleShot BMX derailleur. But different.
Where is your son's shop?

Jan's derailleurs now priced $729.
Free press release but among all, I rather like the analogy. Porsche still offering a manual shift in the name of many still wanting the full and more involved experience.

And just to be clear, I doubt if Jan is making any money on these, especially if you take into account R&D expense and the extreme low volume this is being produced at. Then you have to commit to either making a custom frame or modifying a current one. It's an audacious move, and for those that feel like complaining about it, don't buy it.

Yeah, but you'll still need $250 shift leveres to make it work, so you're still into it for about a grand.

Pretty cool - until the price. Reminds me of an automotive product, the Columbia Two Speed rear end

2 speed axles are quite common on medium duty trucks. I've driven many 5x2 single axle dumps and flatbeds
