An grumpy and irritable listmember has an *excellent* photoalbum describing various bits and features of Campagnolo's push-rod front derailleurs. Please see:

And speaking of Japanese list members: I may be visiting Japan this autumn... can anyone recommend bicycle shops or museums I may wish to visit?

Tonight was the first vintage ride of the year - took the Girardengo down the road to the Greek restaurant... then on the way home I stopped at TVL farm and watched triplet lambs being born. More about that coming soon on the Panther Run mailing list. Please contact me if interested.
