Not the original rear mech that came with the group, I bought this new as a replacement so I could ride a more forgiving gear cluster. You can pair this with an 11 speed 11-34 cassette and a 50-34 chain ring set-up and ride just about anything but a vertical wall. I honestly don’t know where the “beauty scrub” on the main body came from—I’m not really a crasher, but there it still is. Please notice that the cage is painted, as I don’t like riding stuff that looks like it’s been in a rock tumbler. Please believe me when I say I’m not so thick as to try to pass this off as anything but well used. Happy cycling!
