>>So what is being suggested is that this derailleur plus the similar NOS NIB one that turned up earlier this year were both put together from parts from three different derailleurs by someone. It seems an awful lot of trouble to go to and a lot of coincidences. >>
I'd sure love to see a picture of the box. Anyone have one? (right next to the one of the Loch Ness monster maybe?) If a special box were PRINTED, it implies there must be many, many of them, not just a few I'd think. I could better believe a NR box with a special imprint for such a rare item.
Not saying its not true, I just haven't seen any evidence of it yet!
