I noticed some of the photos of the pro bikes at the Tour of Flanders had metal front deailleur cages. Campy bikes had Chorus front derailleurs (metal) and some SRAM bikes were fitted with a special all metal Red front der. Stiffer? Better shifting? Or is this for durabilty?

Stiffer and longer lasting than the carbon caged ones for Campagnolo.

Thanks, the polished metal Record 10 one looks like bike jewelry too. Just like the alloy cranks (which I switched back to as well on the race bike).
