Chuck,
I guess that would make sense to me, but the darn spring-holder portion
of the pivot bolt was stamped Campagnolo. It seems to me that there was some
discussion on the list a couple of months back that involved Campagnolo
stamped Aluminum SR rear derailleur bolts. Were those presumably also made by
OMAS? Again, I would love to hear other's experience with more uncommon Campy
Oddities. Cheers,
