I have that derailleur with that Garburak cage and the whole project was significantly pricier than what you're quoting. If anyone is getting one for $105 good on ya!
Related, I'm not using mine anymore, I'm going to post FS with a matching Microshift 11-speed thumbshifter. I have a SunRace 11-50.cassette that works with it, too..I'll get pics done and work up prices this weekend.
